Score keeps running up when hovered over sprite


Dino Donuts

Above is the link to my game. I am a beginner and made this simple game as my first attempt. In the notes youll see that I've ran into an issue. When dragging the donut over to the dinosaur, if you stay hovered over the dinosaur, the score just continues to go up. How do I solve this?

nvm, but is the timer supposed to be 20 or 30?
And can you try doing this (play sound was the old name for start sound)

i fixed it using clones this lets you make more than one donut appear at a time https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/832220273/editor

Thank you for the reply! I've made the changes you've suggested, saved the project. You can see now the donut just falls to the bottom of the screen after you drop it to the dinosaur and then nothing happens…

You could detect if the y position of the donut is too low (using the less than operator), then randomize it again if that is the case.

I'm not sure this worked either. Waiting on the other person to reply, the link they provided didn't work.
