Im wondering if there is any tutorial for make a score render on the screen. Like for example,
Im developing a hunting-training simulator for hunters where I have a target object like those on shootingranges. 0 its no points and 10 is the hightes score.

When the bullet hits one of the number-circles the number-circle it hits displays on the screen.
Hope you get what I mean.

This is not complete code but shows how you might do this. You need to be familiar (or get familiar) with scripting to make it work.

+ Code Snippet

player_score = 23 -- example

-- displays text to middle of screen while player is in the zone
if GetPlayerInZone(e) == 1
   TextCenterOnX(50,50,2,player_score)
end

or just use something like this

+ Code Snippet

  player_score = 23 -- example
  -- display score to screen for 5 seconds
  PromptDuration(player_score,5000)

Additional text options are in global.lua. Guide to using LUA is in Community Guides at Steam.

Hope this gets you started.

Thanks will see what I can do. I dont have any LUA experience before, nor with scripting, so this will be a great place to start learning.

With no experience scripting it might be best to use the scripts included with GG, attach them to entities and try to interpret what will happen by reading the script and watching it run.

Make small changes and see if you can "predict" the outcome you introduce. It's one of the fastest ways to learn scripting known to man
