How to stop score from updating

Hello I have a 2 small problems

my score it set on a time system(so every .5 seconds of being alive you are awarded 1 point)

But whenever you die the score keeps being added but I want it to come to a stop.

also, was wondering how would you add a pause button using just "P" on the keyboard

I have tryed

on key pressed>set time scale 0

not sure how to get it to unpause tho=

Thanks

Slewot

on key pressed > timescale=0?1:0

should pause and unpause it

event : system ,timescale = 0 = pause

event : system,timescale = 1 = normal play..

this is the speed of the game so if you made it 2 it will be soo fast.. like that even the time..

Now could somebody answer the first question to get the score to stop updating once the player is hit by an object

I have it set to

every tick > add 4 to score

set text "Score" & Score

what am I missing?

Wouldn't a variable work?

Set a variable on player object as 1, then only add the score if variable = 1. When the player gets hit by an object set variable to 0 and finally reset variable back to 1 if you need it.

hmm ok everytick = everytime the game on you will get 4 to score.

so i would say make it :

on the start of layout => add4 to score.

and in the event that player die for example:

player collision with monster => put action player destroy and go to the end layout (new layout).

or you could use boolean (a live = true) , (dead = false)
