You only need to create 2 variables for the scores

gamecontroller create event

Code: Select all

global.player1_score=0
global.player2_score=0

When player1 destroyes an enemy you raise global.player1_score

Code: Select all

global.player1_score+=200

Then you can draw both values:

Code: Select all

draw_text(50,50,string(global.player1_score))
draw_text(400,50,string(global.player2_score))

awesome, thanks that string command was what I was looking for, got my head around globals no probs and I guess I can do a simular thing for keeping track of lives and a power up system.
Thanks
