    I would like to show how many times a player has played the game in the game over ui, but I'm already using coins and points in the game so I don't think I can just use a 1 point/coin action on the start scene?

    Anyone have any ideas how I can workaround this?

    Cheers.

    Oh nice idea actually I never thought of doing it, maybe someone can help us, I think it's really cool to have it in our games!

    Yeah, I'm already using points for the score and coins to show best level reached, all I've got left is distance, maybe something could be done with that as all scenes are equal length?... Dunno... I struggle with buildbox, it requires too much lateral thinking for me! lol Or maybe an in-depth knowledge of how every feature works...

    You can still use Points.

    Set up a dummy World with an Action that gives +1 Points on the Character at the start.
    Then place a Menu Jump directly in front of the Character:

    Connect the Menu Jump to your Game World, like this:

    Then just set up the correct Labels.
    Attempts will be "Total Points" in "Attempts World".
    Best Points will be "Best Points" in "All Worlds".

    You may have to tweak the Menu Jump position slightly to smooth the transition between the attempts World and your Game World.

    @AaroArts Thank you so much! That's brilliant! See, I'm no good at lateral thinking!
