score

This variable is global in scope and is used to hold a numeric value which is usually used for the player score. This variable is only designed to support legacy projects from previous versions of GameMaker and should not be used in new projects as it may be deprecated in the future.

Syntax:

score;

Returns:

Real (single precision floating point value)

Example

switch (object_index)
{
    case obj_Enemy_Fighter:
        score += 10;
    break;

    case obj_Enemy_Mage:
        score += 25;
    break;

    case obj_Enemy_Boss:
        score += 100;
    break;
}
instance_destroy();

The above code checks the object index of the instance running the code using a switch, and then adds different amounts to the score variable depending on what object it is.
