WHAT IS ANIMATED COUNTER BEHAVIOR?

It’s a Construct behavior dedicated for text type objects, such as Text or Sprite Font. With dedicated actions and conditions you can easily make a displayed number gradually increase or decrease, making an impression of a real-time counting.

WHY SHOULD YOU USE IT?

It’s an excellent way to add a fancy vibe to your game! It simply (and easily!) makes your project look cooler ;-).

Most of all – thanks to the addon you can easily enrich your game with minimum effort. The plugin doesn’t require you to use timers or store extra variables.

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

Add the behavior to a text object – e.g. Text or Sprite Font.
In the Properties panel, adjust the Animation Time and Precision, according to your needs
Trigger one of dedicated actions to make your object animate numeric value:
- Add
- Subtract
- Set value
- Set value (by putting initial and target value)

Each of these actions will immediately start making a displayed number to change to a designated value.

Additionally you can use other actions to

Force animation to finish earlier
Stop animation
Set animation time
Set precision (the number of decimal digits to round to).

With dedicated conditions you can also trigger what happens:

when the animation starts,
when the animation ends,
during animation.
For example – play a looped sound effect while the number is animating.
