Hey I'm creating a game that has a 6 buttons below some ingame options etc.
Now I'm having problems with my levels and its script.

Below is my script.



now when I click a button that has this code:

<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Train Attack" ONCLICK="raiseattack()">

The button displays the message that I have leveled up, but doesnt add 1 to the variable atack. so when I view the stats button its still displaying the attack to be one. I need it to raise by one every time this button is clicked.

PLEASE IF POSSIBLE NO ELEMENTS!!! i havent learnt them yet.

Your error is quite simply a problem with your syntax. Instead of attack =+ 1 it should be attack += 1

local variable 'attack' needs to be global

Thanks everyone, yeah I'm still learning javascript so i probably made sevral mistakes.

Now problem no.2 I am using the script from the first reply.
A game just wouldn't be any good if you can keep leveling up... thats pretty pathetic.

So my solution to making it harder is having to wait. So when you click
the train attack button, I want it to have an alert that counts down 2minutes. and when it counts down to zero it has the alert - you leveled up!!!
then add one to the variable.
can someone help me out??
