How do I make a score counter

Hey guys! I want to make a score so that everytime the player clicks on Samurai, the score raises by 1.

It takes 9 hits to kill the Samurai so the number should raise by 1 everytime the samurai is hit.

OR

If it's possible, to have the score count down. So that it goes from 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

What you want to use is 3D text to display the score. The 3d text can be found on the far right of the object gallery. Then you want to have a number variable that keeps track of the score like "health." Then in the "when object is clicked" event put the samurai as the object and put this as your method.

health set value to (health - 1)
3dTextObject.text = health as a string

Thanks for the help! Although how would I set 3dTextObject = health as a string? I'm trying but it's not working. I'm trying to drag the function "object as a string" but it's not working :\
