How do I stop adding to a Global Variable after Game Over?

Hi,

I have a global variable for score that increases by 1 every time an obstacle is destroyed after moving off-screen. On getting a Game Over, any remaining obstacles that move off-screen still add to the score variable. How do I stop this?

Also, the score always displays as "3" on starting the game preview, even though I've set it to 0 on start of layout. Can someone help me fix this?

"I have a global variable for score that increases by 1 every time an obstacle is destroyed after moving off-screen."

Let's say you have a variable for your player called HealthVar and when the game is over that HealthVar is set to 0. For the score variable you can then add a second condition so it only increase if HealthVar is 1 or higher.
