Score Keeping Problem

(Please Help! I am going to launch my game soon)

Hi all, I just created this cannon-shooting game. To win the game you need to shoot the ball to the goal. Therefore I have included a score keeper to keep track on how many balls the cannon had shot and I limit the cannon balls to 50 only. The problem is, if I clicked on a pause button or reset button or any other buttons, it will add in 1 more cannon ball to the score keeper. This is not correct, because I did not shoot the cannon ball.

Please help me, and how can I solve this problem.

    Hello mate. It sounds like your scoring rule is not setup correctly.

    What are the rules that define the score and save score?

    Hi, I added an integer attribute which I call it 'IceScore'. Then in both of the cannon ball, I added a Change Attribute Behavior and inserted (game.IceScore) To (game.IceScore+1). After that, I created a new actor which I call it 'Display Score', I put in the Display Text Behavior and used the expression editor to type in (game.score)

    (- I have two cannon balls actually)

    Ok, it'll be easier for me to understand if you write the rules as they appear in GS or post a screenshot of the rules.

    e.g

    When self.color.alpha = 0
    change attributeWin to true

    Also what are the touch rules for your pause and reset buttons?

    Pause Button: Rule>Touch is pressed>Pause Game

    Reset Button: Rule> Touch is pressed> Reset Scene

    Sorry I am just a newbie I don't know how to write it in that way

    I was just asking that you write out the rule as it appears on your screen in the creator, it's nothing 'technical' :)

    You must have told your cannon ball actor when to add +1 to the score.

    So it will be:

    When................. =................
    Change game.IceScore to game.IceScore+1

    What are the missing dots?

    I only added an change attribute behavior to both of the balls and put in (game.Score) To (game.Score+1), so what do I do now? :(

    When you press the pause button, does the cannon fire??

    Perhaps adding the condition - When touch is Pressed & When touch is Inside.
    This means that any touches outside of that actor will not effect the rules within that actor.
    Hope this helps?? Though I am confused about the two balls?? Are there two cannons?

    No but it also adds a point to the score. There is only one cannon, there are two balls because i also included a multi-ball selection button, so if I press on the button the ball would change into a different ball :D
