For some reason, once you lose the score is set to 0 and spikes keep coming. Anyone able to figure out why? Thanks! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/162310624/

Did you forget to set End=1?

I did. If End didn't equal 1 that could explain the spikes, but not the score reset.

Monitor End. I don't see it setting to 1. If it does set to 1 it must set back to 0 quickly.

I'll check again if it sets to 1. If it does the question is why does it set to 0 again because it's only supposed to set to 0 when it receives start and other than the score resetting none of the other Start outputs are going.

UPDATE:

I rearranged a few pieces of code that involved setting END to 1 and it now works. However, the score still isn't working. Any ideas?

Did you make Score a variable for all sprites?

“This sprite only” variables are also specific to the clone. Because your score variable is “this sprite only,” each spike increases its own value to 1, then deletes itself, also deleting the variable that it just changed.

OK, I see. I imported the scoring system from another project so it's that way. I guess I'll have to change it.
