How do you add a Points Counter that can be increased/decreased from 0 to 50 for instance. A counter is required for each player.
Oh oh! I just learned how to do this!
-
In the [Map Node] section (whatever you labeled it - I call mine Playing Field) you right-click and select “Add At-Start Stack”.
-
Next you define it however you like (I call mine ‘Player 1’s HP’) and position it on your board.
-
Right-click the [At-Start Stack] and select ‘Add Single Piece’.
-
Double click [Single Piece] to bring up it’s properties.
-
The ‘Basic Piece’ is the background image you’re going to use; double click it under ‘Current Traits’.
-
Label it whatever you like and add the background picture. Press OK.
-
Under ‘Available Traits’ add ‘Text Label’ and open it’s properties.
-
Change ‘Text’ to whatever you want the current count for the player to be.
-
Click inside the ‘Keyboard Command’ box, then use a combination that isn’t being used already; I used CTRL ENTER for mine.
-
Adjust the Font/Font Size/Color to your liking.
-
Depending on the background image you used, you’re going to have to offset the horizontal and vertical positions/justifications. You’re going to have to do some trial and error to get it just right.
I’ve provided an example below. The image is the background I used (I left the right sides blank so I could center the numbers over them) and the numbers can be changed by right-clicking the image.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
