prevent negative value in variable

I have a variable score which reduces if player does the wrong thing. How ever if player does the wrong thing on start of game I get a score of say -50 how do I a void this and ensure d least value score can hold is 0. Thanks

the max() expression returns the smallest value of any amount of numbers given

so

max(4,2,6)

will return 2

in your case you can do:

set score to max(score,0)

which means if score is below 0, it will just return 0

min() works in the opposite way

other related expressions are clamp() and abs(), you can find them with a description in the 'objects with expressions' window, in system.

Use the max() expression. max returns whatever value is greater.

For example

Set score to max(score - 50, 0)

will only subtract until 0 is reached, from then on it will return 0
