How do you make the points lower once at a time?

Scratchuser25

I can't make the points for the game I'm making lower only once if it touches. Can anyone help?

If you could be a little more specific, I might get a better idea what you're going for. Otherwise, see it you can apply this.
Set your points system to a variable, most likely called “points”:

(points)

Then, every time the enemy touches your character, set “points” to decrease by 1.
It might look something like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <touching [ enemy ] ?> then
    
change [ points ] by (-1)
end

end

Make sure the above bit of code is placed inside the sprite of the character you wish to lose points.

Also put a wait block or it will decrease a lot.

when green flag clicked
if <touching [whatever it touches v] ?> then
change [points v] by (-1)
end

maybe this…

forever
wait until <touching [ v] ?>
change [ v] by (-1)
wait until <not <touching [ v] ?>>
end

If you have a problem please create a new topic. This is old and best left alone.

This is correct.

You are likely to get more help by creating a new topic compared to posting on an old one. I would also suggest sharing your project to make it easier for others to see what exactly needs to be fixed.
