    Hello everyone!

    I've been enjoying BB for a few weeks now and have a nice game developing, but have run into a major problem with scoring...

    I'm creating a static level game where you have to collect 5 points in order to advance to the next scene. I have an event observer setup on the WORLD UI looking for 5 points to be reached. When reached it moves the player onto the next level. I want to be able to reward the player with a better score based on how fast they collect these 5 points.

    Example - There's a countdown points timer starting at 100 and for each second they are alive, the timer moves down by 1 second. Once all 5 have been collected, the player is rewarded with the remainder of the countdown points timer.

    Is this possible? I've searched the forum and found a few things but none that fit my example.

    I'm using points to collect the 5 points needed and coins to collect coins for unlocking characters. The only other thing I have left to play with is distance which is of no use to me as its a static level game.

    Any help is greatly appreciated :)
