I inserted a test score function on the game I'm working on and have it set to destroy the main object and go to the next room which already has that object placed. I also allowed for an else function that displays scoreboard and ends the game if there is no next room. I have currently made only 2 rooms, but when I reach the 2000 score required to advance, it displays the scoreboard and ends rather than going to the next room. Oh! I also have this posted under the step event.

Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I appologize in advance if this is not what you meant.

I also went into debug mode and it will allow me to go to the next level, but when I either code it to go to the next level or d&d it to go to the next level it won't recognize that it exists.

'if score is equal to 2000'
you probably want this to change into 'if score is not smaller than 2000'.
Select the 'smaller than' from the list and check the NOT box at the bottom.

and go to the next room which already has that object placed.

Probably, the problem is that you have the object in the second room as well. When the second room starts, the ship will execute its step event, detecting that score is already 2000. Since there isn't the third room, it will immediately show the score board as soon as you enter the second room.

You should make a different condition for each room, or reset score before the next room starts.

Thank you so much! This has fixed my problem.
