When [event to change the score]
     Change Attribute game.score to game.score+25
     Change Attribute game.startAnimation (boolean) to true

Then in your animate actor:

When attribute game.startAnimation is true
     Animate
     Timer after 1.3 seconds
          Change Attribute game.startAnimation to false

Note that I chose 25 arbitrarily and that 1.3 seconds would be equal to the duration of the animation sequence.

Hi again tatiang
That worked a treat, everything fine and dandy now.

Thanks again

You're welcome! You can think of game attributes (aka global variables) as a place to store values that multiple actors need or as a way to communicate between actors by changing the value from within one actor and checking the value in another actor(s).
