Hey @simplytar,
This nested scoring logic for 4 players (lowest unique = 2 points, ties split 1 or 0) is tricky in because actions can only have one condition each. There is no built-in nested if/else.
The method I’ve used in scoring and game apps is:
- Send the 4 scores to a Make scenario via webhook when you submit.
In Make:
- Receive the webhook.
- Use if/else branches to check the lowest score, count ties, and apply your exact conditions (1-5).
- Calculate points for each player.
- Send the results back to Adalo via webhook to update the records.
This is reliable and works without bugs. It scales well and keeps Adalo for the user interface.
If you want to keep everything native, you can chain multiple actions with calculated properties (like min score and tie counts). However, it requires more steps for complex ties, such as condition 5.
