How do I make my score reset after the game is over?

DanielVanDePutte

I added a high score to my game which works but for some reason or another after I add that, my score which has been working fine doesn't reset, adding more points onto the score I had before I died. Any help would be great because this is really frustrating!!

Generally, you'd want to reset the score within the rules for the button that resets the game. So if you have a Menu button or Retry button or something like that on your game over screen, add the Change Attribute behavior just before/above the Change Scene or Reset Scene behavior that you're using.

Would you like suggestions as to where in your code you may have made a mistake ?

Attributes do not reset themselves. If you are using a game attribute such as game.score, you'll need to change it back to zero when your game resets by using Change Attribute game.score to 0.

@tatiang do I just add that after
display text game.score
