How do I maintain the score from one layout to the next?

Hello again.

Here I come with another silly question...

I've got a sprite for the player who every time is on collision with an object it adds 1 to the variable for the score, but when it goes to the next layout it always resets to 0... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

It's an instance variable on the object? You can either make the object global so it continues to the next layout with the same stats, or the norm is to use a global variable for things like Score.

Yes, it's a global variable and both layouts are using the same eventsheet, so I think there's something going on that I don't get. Any ideas of what can it be?

You must have an event to set it to 0 on start of layout, or to reset global variables.

Fixed, Thanks!

I figured out what was the problem... The variable wasn't resetting at all, I just forgot to set the text to the variable on start of layout, so it always said 0

I have another question, if it's not a problem ... When my character dies the score stays the same when the level starts again, and I would like it to be restored to the amount it had when the level started. Any idea on how to do that?

You would store that as another variable. Var A that is set at the start of the level and Var B in the level that increases during gameplay. When you die you set Var B to Var A value.

Thanks! Done!
