    @Lobsters so if we get the upgrade will the scoring work as per your use case? I have the same issue and it is really frustrating...

    I've changed my game to a 1 World game and i cant even show the points from multiple scenes. The best score its allowing me to display is 5 as there are a maximum of 5 points available in each scene. It wont add up the scores from each scene like i want it to. I'm banging my head on the wall...

    Total points is an accumulation of every time i play the game...
    I score 50 on my first play
    then i quit the app and and start another game and my score starts at 50

    I use 'Total' for coins and it works perfectly as i want players to accumulate coins every time they play. With 'Points' i want the player to start at 0 every time they play.

    I've tried using the 'Reset Points' component in the mind map on the world node but it doesn't work?

    Have you tried all options? There’s only like 9 to test.

    Try Session Points and Reset Score on your Mind Map.

    Failing that, upload your BBDoc so someone can help.

    I've tried every possible combination.

    Session points resets whenever to 0 at every scene

    Well say your world 1 score is 5 .My question is does it show some screen in between while proceeding to next world?If so add an action button overlapping next button and set as points/coins (what ever your scoring system is) and on clicking it it would take to next world and display score as 5 i.e world 2 begins with score 5.Similarly for world 3 which begins with 10 and in end on gameover the best score would be displayed.

    Current Points resets to 0 every scene.

    I have an event observer in the GAME UI for session points and it redirects to another UI once 5 points is reached. In this other UI there is a Lock Button that takes you to the next scene.

    Both Session Points and Current Points reset to 0 at every new scene.

    I need something to reset to 0 every scene so the event observer can look for 5, and i also need something that adds up the points of every scene... and this is your score per game until you restart from scene 1 where you start from 0 again.

    I only want to display the score (all scenes combined) and best ever score on the game over screen
    and on the main menu screen i only want to display the best ever score.

    Your method would work if i wanted to show the score during gameplay, but i dont need this

    I really appreciate all your input and help guys :)

    I used a method similar to the one you suggested and i now have the score and best score working. Thanks so much :)

    I added another UI to my world with with 3 observers looking for 0, 5 and 10 TOTAL points. This redirects to 1 of 3 Scene UIs.

    At the start of the 1st scene theres an action that gives you 0 points as soon as you start the scene
    At the start of the 2nd scene theres an action that gives you 5 points as soon as you start the scene
    At the start of the 3rd scene theres an action that gives you 10 points as soon as you start the scene

    In each of the Scene UIs the an observer looking for 5, 10 or 15 SESSION points

    When i die i get directed to the FAIL UI screen. Once there i have a Back Jump button to the Main Menu UI where i can restart the game.

    This is the problem i now have... The score does not reset to 0.

    It needs to be reset for all the above mentioned observers to work correctly. I have setup a Reset Score component on my world but it doesnt reset the score.

    Anyone have any ideas? My mind map is here...

    Use Default Navigation Button and connect it manually instead of Back Jump.

    Connect the Nodes manually using Default and use Reset Score in the Main World.
