Hey! so iv'e programmed it so that is a projectile hits a player, the hit counter goes up. however the hit counter remains as 0. Any reason why?

This is my project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/549664037/

The problem is that the clone(s) don't get change to ever get to the forever loop. It just glides to the other side and delete's itself. Best way to fix this is to move the counter changer script to a different loop. That way it'll check if it's touching the heart when it's gliding.

Yay! it works now!!!

Okay, I'm able to help with this. First you want to go to events and get the “when flag icon clicked” block, then to motion and get the “go to block.” connect
them together and here are the next steps: Take another “when flag icon clicked” block, and now go to “control” and get an “If then” block. connect them
together, of course. Now, go to sensing and take a “if touching” block. Click it where it has the *if touching mouse pointer.“ it will have a triangle beside it. Just click the icon, and click the name of your sprite instead of mouse pointer to work the game. Put the if touching block instead the blank spot of the ”if then“ place. Then, go to the variable section and make a variable. For an example: I'd just call it ”score.“ then, take the ”CHANGE score by one block.“ There will be a triangle and another variable, just do the same in ”if touching“ block. Make sure you don't take the ”SET“ block, its the change block. Then put the change block inside the blank space after the ”then“ in the ”if then block“ Also, go to events and get the flag icon block, go to variable and select ”set score to zero" So the score resets when the flag is clicked again.

Oh wait, it's still broken.
Added it to a different loop called when i receive dodge1 but it still doesn't work.
Also the music is broken.

ill try dat

Make sure not to put “play sound” instead put the “start sound” block. Because the players would have to wait until the sound played, and then play the game. But you want the music to start while playing the game, right? Or, make sure to put the repeat block and not the forever block. I don't know if It's me you're replying to, but I made a reply about your game. Your variable was not changing, correct??

ok. im dumb. i made the wrong loop. works now. thanks all!

you both are lifesavers. also fixed the bones coming after the death animation.

No problem, lol

This scrpit is sooo messy lol. im not good at drag n drop. Im a fullstack web dev

Yeah, my scripts are also really messy

bruh sound and bones are still not working. The bones come later as well and the sound is stopping cuz i added a stop all sounds…. fix plsss. i was planning to make make this a full release. No chance of that…

I may have not explained that correct but the code is: when flag icon clicked start (whatever sound) and get a repeat block and put the sound in the blank space of the *repeat block*

Yea. but the two soundtracks overlap each other

Set the volume to 0 on the sprite in which you want the music to be stopped, instead of stopping all the sounds currently playing in the project.

ok. here we go. the end sound is looping now but its not overlapping with the other one. also the bones keep coming no matter what i do. Not even stop all other scripts is sprite does the job…

So is the sound resolved? I thought preventing them from overlapping was what you wanted, as per post 15.

true true but now the sound plays until a certain part and then loops it and it sounds like a stuck cassette

Then either set the volume to 0 or use a variable to control the repeating of the sound.

repeat until <(var) = [stop]>
play sound [ v] until done
end
