Hi. I'm in the middle of a Scratch project and I'm having difficulties with one thing.

The objective of my game is to collect a number of items by killing enemies to proceed to the next level. I managed to do it for the first level, but on the next level, the door I use to get to the next level still shows on the second level when I only want to appear when the player collects a number of items. How do I repeat this and the other levels?

Do you mind post the link of your project?
It'll be easier to see what's your question.

At the top next to file, click "share" and "share this project online". Did you remember to reset the variable every time you start a new level and not just when the green flag is clicked?

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [object v]?>
change [var v] by (1)
end
wait until <(var) = (number)>
broadcast [next level v]

You will need to hide the items after they're collected and you may want to change the variable number according to the number of items in the level.

Thanks, but what number do I put in the var = bit? Or do I have to create a new variable called "number"?

I edited the script above ^^ so that it would work.

Anyway, it depends how you look at it. You could, but then you'd need to set (number) to the number of objects in the next level, or you could use a conditional like this:

<<<<(level) = (1)> and <(var) = [number]>> or <<(level) = (2)> and <(var) = [number]>>> or (more...)>

You could do this:

when gf clicked
set [items collected v] to [0]
forever
if <touching [item v]?>
change [items collected v] by (1)
wait until <not<touching [item v]?>>
end

when gf clicked
broadcast [door show v] //this makes the door show
forever
if <(items collected) > (whatever you want)>
broadcast [door hide v]
end

This works only if I understood you right:
You want it so that the door will show, and once you collect a certain amount of items, it'll hide, and not reappear.
If I got it wrong, please explain a little clearer what you want.

Sorry. I meant I want the door to show when I collect a number of items, not hide. I want the door to hide and wait on the next level and when I collect a number of items again, it shows again. Hopefully you've got it now.

    change [items v] by 1
    broadcast [enemy 2 defeated v]
  end
end

and

when gf clicked
wait until <(items) > (number)>
change [level v] by (1)
set [items v] to 0

Thanks, but do these go in the script of the character I'm playing as or the door I use to get to the next level?
