Hi every one...
in one of the events in my game (in step event)I have a check on the value of score, so every time it reaches a value I need a sound to be playing one time. I did all of that, but the problem is that the game is keep playing the sound over and over again. So how can I make the sound play one time only from the step event ???

create
played = false;

if(score>1000 and played == false)
{
played = true;
sound_play(sound);
}

or every 1000 points
create
playat = 1000;

if(score>playat)
{
playat+=1000;
sound_play(sound);
}

I know how to make the score thing, but when it checks that the score is larger than a number it keeps playing the sound over and over, I need it to play the sound one time only
see what I have in the picture:

Looks like you want a sound to play, the subimage of the sprite changed and the bullet upgraded by 1 every 300 points. Take icuurd12b42's second set of code:

Creation:

next_event_at = 300;

Step:

if (score > next_event_at) {
  next_event_at += 300;
  bullet += 1;
  sound_play(powerup);
  //This is for the change-sprite icon, I can't see what exactly is inside it
  image_index += 1;
}

PS: When you use code, make sure that all resource names are unique and valid. If there is another sprite or object named powerup, this might not work until you change the names to something else. A good practice is to prefix your resource names, like spr_powerup and obj_powerup, in order to avoid name conflicts.

I do not want to have a new code for what I have already. I want a code that can play a sound one time from step event

what ?

We answered your question, see it or not, we did...

no you did not because the code that the other guy gave me will keep play the sound over and over

Did you remove all the icons you already have in your Step event and replace it with my code? If you didn't, I can tell you that it's the icons you already have that plays the sound over and over, not my code. Alternatively, it could be that your score is constantly increasing and you don't see it.

Either way, it's your code that is at fault.

Of course I did when I tried your code

OK, how about posting the source then? As of now, there's nothing much for anyone to do other than guessing.
