I am stuck trying to create a point system that works, my current one keeps messing up and making the points change by 200 instead of 100.

please help it is driving me MAD!!!!!

the one I am using at the moment is:

when green flag clicked
set points to 0
forever if <touching sprite 2>
hide
change points by 100

But it doesn't work...

Try adding:

"wait until <not <touching sprite2> >"

under the "change points by" block smile

I've tried your suggestion but STILL nothing seems to be happening...

Oh no! sad Try using the seperate "forever" and "if" blocks, instead of "forever if", maybe? I'm not sure... hmm

Is there a change points by block in sprite2?

Seems to be due to the player sprite's movement amount of 10 steps.
Tested this by changing it to 1 step, dragging the Point sprites directly in front of them, and then walking into them. No matter how many I gathered, they all scored 100 points each.

Fix: In each point sprite, change the <when green flag clicked> script to this...

<when green flag clicked>
<set{ Points }to(0
<wait until> <touching[ Sprite2
<hide>
<change{ Points }by( 100

ps. cool project, gave me some new ideas smile

I've tried it just now and it only works if you drag the point counter to Mr Thing. Plus after only a few tests it's decided to not work at all. Maybe It's my computer.

Really because when I changed your script to the one I posted, it worked and I was playing it normally, not dragging anything. I did the dragging only to test your script and find the problem, not after I fixed it smile Make sure you change enough of the point sprite's scripts that in the game you are running into one with a new script, it will work perfectly.

Tuns out I was reading it wrong but for some reason the stupid things will not work properly some of them still change by 200, but if I click on the bad ones and then play it works fine.
