Is there a way to make it so it only adds to variable once?
I have a sprite that adds 100 points when the player touches it, is there a way to make it so it doesn't keep adding 100 to the variable? It looks something like this: [blocks]<when I receive[ go inside home <touching[hero <if><change{rupees }by( 100 [/blocks]

You could try adding a [wait until <not <touching [Hero]> > ] to it. 
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Add
Code:
[wait until <not <touching [hero]>>]
Ninja'd by the 60 second rule! And here! Just 00:02:02 apart.
