Hello, I am just starting to learn Scratch. I set a counter so that when one sprite touches another one, then the counter should add one point. Both sprites are moving (flying) in opposite directions. But when they touch then the counter goes up by many points since they are actually touching more than once as they go through one another. How can I avoid this and have the counter just add 1 point?

Thanks!

if <[COUNTER] > [1]> then
set [counter v] to [1]
end
end

if <touching [the other sprite v] ?> then 
if <(count?) = [yes]> then
change [counter v] by (1)
set [count? v] to [no]
end
else
set [count? v] to [yes]
end

wait (1) secs
