Hi, I'm New, I need a help for "score" variable

Hello i'm new here, i'm a new indie game developer . This is my first game is inspired by Strikers 1945 and Aero Fighters.

I recreated a game from a tutorial called "Create_A_Vertical_Shooter_In_Construct.zip" there a version like part 1 but i couldn't find part 2.

I made a "Text" as score and i added a private variable "score", then i added an event as "Always" and a action "Text: Set text to Text .Value('score')

finally, a collision between a bullet and an enemy, this action was Text: Add 100 to 'score' but it didn't work and i wasted like 4 hours how to fix it.

I uploaded my source if you can help me.

Thanks in advance!

(My english is not good )

Try this:

Make a global variable "score" (click on the project tab, and right-click on "Global Variables" to add one)

Event 1:

Set text to global variable value, "score"

When bullet collides with enemy-

add 100 to global variable "score"

I did that, and it worked like a charm.

Hmm... look this:

After i created a "score" in global variables folder in project section.

I removed Text.Value('score') and i added "score" in Event 1.

Also When bullet collides with enemy- add 100 to global variable "score". But a there Private Variable option, it is from "Text" object with a private variable with 'score'...

I don't understand...

Instead of putting "score" in Event 1, place global('score').

Instead of putting "score" in Event 1, place global('score').

I already did it some minutes ago but didn't work... maybe you will look this:

Here is the fixed cap.Note the cap was made with Construct classic R1 ,Which is the latest version of Construct.Your Score Variable was incorrect at the event's so i created a new text object for the scoring.

Edit : Here is the fixed cap that's compatible with old version of Construct

Nice!

Here is an example of the life counter or health bar along with a Game Over screen.Move the arrow over the blue box to lose health.

As for mini bosses and final bosses, Depends on what you want the bosses to do or how they must behave.

Thanks! and the bosses come at center of the position in layout from screen, has 3 weapons at random time and can be destroyed by 50 bullets, It's simple. And the minibosses simply have the hit points than a common enemy.

Ok here is a more complicated cap using Groups,User created movement and a Global Score.The Group is created for power ups.If the global score reaches 100 points then a green block will drop down, If you catch the green block you will recieve 15 missiles which you can shoot using the Spacebar.Another green block will drop down after 500 points.
