Try this.
Or search scratch resources for something similar

Thanks, but not the technique I'm looking for. I find it unnecessary to make a sprite for each digit of the score.

Thanks, but I'd like a script that can do that with a score that always changes.

My project, text drawing with only 1 costume can draw text and numbers with only one costume.

Hi, 1 sprite version that I posted a while ago here: Score Sprite

Hopefully the scripts can help you.

It does use a few variables and you may be able to cut one out if you think about it - not sure; haven't checked it in a while.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

You need 10 costumes:
- number1: the number 1
- number2

etc. up to number 9 and then add costume
- number0

(the tens is where the tens, e.g. 10 is 1 ten, go)

when gf clicked
forever // Forever stamping the values
clear
goto x: (x position of the tens) y: (y position of the tens)
if <(length of (score)) > [1]>
  switch to costume (letter (1) of (score))
  stamp
  move (spacing between tens and units) steps
  switch to costume (letter (2) of (score))
else
  switch to costume (letter (1) of (score))
end
stamp

That only works for up to 2 digits 

I see.

Let me try to make something that works for any digit.

when gf clicked
forever // Forever stamping the values
clear
goto x: (x position of the first number) y: (y position of the total number)
set [iteration v] to [1]
repeat (length of (score))
switch to costume (letter (iteration) of (score))
stamp
change x by (spacing inbetween all numbers)
change [iteration v] by (1)
end

Notice the repeat block makes it able to display an unlimited amount of digits or atleast up to where it reaches the edge.

No problem, hope it helps. Feel free to ask any questions you have on that project - I probably wouldn't remember to check here if you had any.

So rdococ you pretty much did the same thing I did except with a little optimization?

Looks like it, costumes work with costume numbers too, and there is only one variable instead of two.

And, if it is a non-existent costume (e.g. switch to costume (0) when there's 1, 2, 3, and 4 costume numbers) it rolls back to the opposite and continues on.

So with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 costume numbers in my script, "0" means costume "10", which visually looks like a "0", so with my script it uses costume numbers, not names.

Lol, many of my posts on these topics are in a sticky

I tried this on Scratch in one of the games I'm making, and I think that it would be better without the "clear" block; it makes the numbers flicker. Instead, this script worked fine in my game:

when gf clicked
clear
forever // Forever stamping the values
goto x: (x position of the first number) y: (y position of the total number)
set [iteration v] to [1]
repeat (length of (score))
switch to costume (letter (iteration) of (score))
stamp
change x by (spacing inbetween all numbers)
change [iteration v] by (1)
end

Then you get shadows of the previous numbers... What I did was make another costume, the color of the background, and have it stamp, then the number.

This is helpful!!

(the tens is where the tens, e.g. 10 is 1 ten, go)

when gf clicked
forever // Forever stamping the values
clear
set [temporary value v] to (score)
goto x: (x position of the tens) y: (y position of the tens)
if <(length of (score)) > [1]>
  switch to costume (letter (1) of (score))
  stamp
  move (spacing between tens and units) steps
  switch to costume (letter (2) of (score))
else
  switch to costume (letter (1) of (score))
end
stamp
wait until <not <(score) = (temporary value)>>

This way reduces lag in huge games, and reduces the possibility of the score flashing while a player is interacting with your project (:

I would like a script to be able to stamp my score variable as I've seen in some other projects so I don't have to use the orange box. Thanks!

You just have a sprite or a few that have costumes with numbers 0-9
