the script was the condition was false:

when green flag clicked
if <(points) = [100]> then
broadcast [ win]
end

If you have a question please say what it is and, ideally, share the project.

Generally it doesn't make sense to check a value after the green flag is clicked and not after that.

The way this is written the check will happen only once and that once is at the very beginning of the program running.

What you probably really wanted was something like this -

when I receive [Points Changed v]
if <(points) > [99]> then
broadcast [win v]

Then every time you change the score make it look like this:

change [points v] by (5)
broadcast [Points Changed v]

You should put a forever block around it, because like @bustedthumbs said, it will only check if the points equal 100 once. If you put a forever loop around it, it will continuously check whether or not the points have yet reached 100. Hope this helps!

I greatly prefer the way that I wrote it to using a forever block.

The use of forever blocks for situations like this can make your program get out of hand if it grows beyond a few simple scripts.

play guitar (12) for (5) beats ::sound

What? Is this a new script? I thought you said something different in the first post. Can you please explain? Thanks!

My if statement didn't work when I tried to show or hide a sprite. Is it because I used pen?


Link here is you want to check it out. The problems are the sprites Flashlight and Ghost https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/792512483/

Please make a new topic for this and post the link to the project in that new topic. Scratch 2.0 was still online when this was last posted on.
