[Simplified Version](http://tinyurl.com/4jhuxj4s) Gameplay Process: * Click on the screen to find cats. * Each time a cat is found, play a star particle feedback and increment the count of found cats. * After finding three cats in total, redirect to the end page.
### 3.Step-by-Step Explanation Creating this type of gameplay requires three steps: adding a numeric variable、assigning the value to each element、and adding Conditions to calculate interaction counts. #### **Step 1: Add Global Variables** * Click on \[Global Variables] - \[Add variables] * Enter the variable name (such as click times) * Select variable type as \[Value] * Set the initial value to 0（At the initial screen, the player has not yet clicked.） * Save
#### **Step 2: Assign the value** * Select the layer \[cat1] - \[Add Event] - \[Press] * \[Add response event] - \[Assign the value]: clicktimes+1 (i.e. press a cat and the number of clicks will increase by 1)
* Continue to add response events - \[Show layer] cat1 - \[Hide layer] star1 * After adding, we click the \[Copy] button to copy the entire event
* Then paste them into layers \[cat2] and \[cat3] in sequence, and change the corresponding effective layers to cat2/star2, cat3/star3
#### **Step 3: Add Condition** * Click on \[Event] in the **current scene** - \[Add Event] - Select \[Condition] - \[+Condition] * \[Add condition 1] : clicktimes=Value 1, and check \[Valid only once]（When the interaction count equals 1.）
* \[Add response event] - \[Show layer] text\_1 - \[Hide layer] text\_0
* Similarly, continue to add two conditions: **clicktimes=2**（When the interaction count equals 2.）、**clicktimes=3**（When the interaction count equals 3.） * And sequentially add response events: Show text\_2\&Hide Text\_1、Show text\_3\&Hide Text\_2 * **Note:** Because we want to achieve "redirect the end page after finding three cats", we need to add an additional response event - Redirect to the next scene in Condition 3 (i.e. when the number of clicks=3) (execution delay of 0.5 seconds is the reserved particle playback time)
With these steps, the event setup is complete. When you encounter a need to **"calculate the interaction count on different layers to trigger specific feedback,"** you can try applying this logic and method in your own projects! ## 📒Global Variable Calculation for Interactions - Same Layers ### 1.Application Scenarios **Achieving the effect of "multiple interactions, where each click/drag on the same layer triggers the same or different feedback."** Here are some examples: * Example 1: On the first click on the wheel, it stops at position A. On the second click, it continues from position A and stops at position B. * Example 2: Clicking the "Generate" button results in the appearance of a new character with each click. * Example 3: Clicking an item produces the same particle effect or other feedback with each click. * ... ... ### 2.Case Preview Gameplay Process of [This Case](https://tinyurl.com/26cnjbb3): * The initial state has the wheel stopped at the red position. * On the player's first press, the wheel rotates to the purple position and stops. * On the player's second press, the wheel continues rotating from the purple position and stops at the cyan position.
### 3.Step-by-Step Explanation Creating this type of gameplay requires 2 steps: aadding a numeric variable、adding Conditions and assigning the value to the layer events. #### **Step 1: Add Global Variables** * Click on \[Global Variables] - \[Add variables] * Enter the variable name (e.g., tap). * Select variable type as \[Value] * Set the initial value to 0（At the initial screen, the player has not yet clicked.） * Save
#### Step 2: Add Conditions and Assign the value * Select the layer that will be clicked - "Add Event" - "Press." * Add Condition 1: tap = 0 (indicating the interaction count is 0). * Add response event "Assign the value": assign the value "tap+1" (incrementing the interaction count to 1). * Add other response events: play the rotation animation 1 of the wheel, play feedback sound effects once, etc.
* Add Condition 2: tap = 1 (indicating the interaction count is 1). * Add response event "Assign the value": assign the value "tap+1" (incrementing the interaction count to 2). * Add other response events：play the rotation animation 2 of the wheel, play feedback sound effects once, etc. * **Similarly, if you want to handle the player's third click, fourth click, and so on, you can set tap = 2, tap = 3, and so on.**
*The parameters for the rotation animation of the wheel are as follows*
With these steps, the event setup is complete. When you encounter a need to **"calculate the interaction count on same layers to trigger specific feedback,"** you can try applying this logic and method in your own projects! ## 📒Using Global Variables to Control Interaction Toggles ### 1.Application Scenarios **To achieve an effect where player interaction is disabled during feedback playback and only re-enabled afterward**, you can use a Global Variable to control interaction. Here are some examples: * Example 1: In a match-3 gameplay, after a successful elimination, particle effects and sound feedback are triggered. The player shouldn't be able to click other blocks until the feedback is complete. * Example 2: When clicking a blind box, an item image pops up. Other blind boxes should not be clickable until the image disappears. * ... ... ### 2.Case Preview Take the [*Match 3 Dress Up*](https://playable-portal.mintegral.com/#/mindwork-view?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmmp-cdn.rayjump.com%2Fmindworks-interactive-ads.html%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fmmp-cdn.rayjump.com%252Fgm%252Ft%252F20001751%252F13755%252Fpv%252F24%252F12%252F09%252F6756911e0db74%252Fproject.html%253Floading%253D1%2526preview%253Dtrue%2526lang%253Dzh-cn%2526preview%253Dtrue%2526itavideo%253D2%2526vconsole%253D0%2526mw_test%253D0%2526loading%253D1%26mw_test%3D0%26is_browser_tips%3D1%26ptloading%3D1%26track_data%3D%257B%2522pid%2522%253A20001751%252C%2522uid%2522%253A142552%252C%2522skin_id%2522%253A13755%252C%2522sct%2522%253A%2522pt_template_index%2522%252C%2522env%2522%253A%2522p%2522%252C%2522cc%2522%253A%2522SG%2522%257D\&orientation=3\&name=\&language=en,zh-cn) as an example: During the elimination process, other blocks can't be clicked until particles and sounds finish playing. ### 3.Step-by-Step Explanation To implement this, follow two main steps: Add a boolean Global Variable → Add Conditions and Assign the Value in Layer Events #### **Step 1: Add Global Variables** * Click on \[Global Variables] - \[Add variables] * Enter the variable name (e.g., eliminate). * Select variable type as \[Boolean] * Set the initial value to false
#### Step 2: Add Conditions and Assign the value * Take one of the blocks as an example. Select the corresponding layer, and under all existing click event Conditions, add a new Condition: "eliminate = false". * Repeat the same setup for all other blocks.
* Then, go to the scene-level events. Under the Conditions that handle feedback playback, set up the following response events: * Assign the value "eliminate = true" * After a delay of 0.5s (which equals the duration of the feedback), assign the value "eliminate = false" * Repeat similar operations for other relevant Conditions as needed. \*To put it simply: when "eliminate = false", the click events are active. Once an elimination is triggered and feedback plays, setting "eliminate = true" disables further clicks. After a 0.5s delay, re-assigning "eliminate = false" re-enables the click events. This way, a Global Variable is used to toggle interaction on and off across the project. 👉 For the full tutorial of this case, please refer to: [\Blank Canvas Tutorial](/playturbo-case-study/playable-content-editor/elimination-and-match-gameplay-cases/less-than-match-3-dress-up-greater-than-blank-canvas-tutorial.md) [\Blank Canvas Tutorial](/playturbo-case-study/playable-content-editor/elimination-and-match-gameplay-cases/less-than-match-3-dress-up-greater-than-blank-canvas-tutorial.md#lnpxj-1)
🌟**Case Extension**: If you're working on the blind box click gameplay mentioned in Example 2, the logic becomes even simpler. * Similarly, add a Global Variable of Boolean type, such as "click", and set its initial value to false. * Under all blind box click events, add a Condition: "click = false" * Then, in the Condition of each click event, simply add: Assign the value "click = true"/ Add a delay of 0.5s / Assign the value "click = false" That’s all you need to achieve the desired result. ## 📒Countdown Timer Setup ### 1.Application Scenarios **The initial screen includes a countdown timer.** * **When the player has no action or fails to achieve a specific goal within the set time, trigger the countdown and proceed to Ending A.** * **When the player successfully interacts or achieves the specific goal within the set time, cancel the countdown and proceed to Ending B.** ### 2.Case Preview Gameplay Process of [This Case](https://tinyurl.com/8de4wcw2): * Upon entering the trial, displaying core gameplay and the countdown timer. * If the player completes the drawing within 10 seconds, redirect to the victory page. * If the player fails to complete the drawing within 10 seconds, redirect to the product information page.
### 3.Step-by-Step Explanation To set up a complete countdown timer, follow these 2 steps: triggering the countdown and canceling the countdown. #### Step 1: Trigger the Countdown 1）After adding the countdown asset, set the countdown sequence as "Playback Interval: 1000ms" and "Automatically Play Once on Entry."
2）In the core gameplay scene, Add Event - "Timing trigger." 3）Set the execution delay of N seconds to trigger the failure result (e.g., redirect to Scene 3 after 10 seconds).
#### Step 2: Cancel the Countdown **In the event for successful interaction, add response event "Cancel execution delay".** Select the timer ID set in the previous step (e.g., after completing the drawing, redirect to Scene 2 and cancel the timer "timer\_1").
Tip: There are multiple countdown presets available in "Presets Library" for your convenience! [Presets Library](/playable-tools-content-editor/content-editor-user-guide/editing-page-module-intro/top-asset-library/presets-library.md)

Step-by-Step Explanation * In the Asset Library - Particle, add any particle effect. Only one particle effect is needed. * In the \[Particle Thumbnail] section, replace the particle image with an error feedback image, such as "×".
* Adjust the particle parameters according to the values in the image below.
* Select multiple layers (particle, draggable image, etc.) to group them together, and then hide the particle layer.
* Add a Trigger event to the drag group - **Not dragged to target position**, and set the drag area. * Add response events: Display particle effect. Play the error sound effect once from the start.
