GameMaker Displaying Text on Multiple Screens

[Torchbiz]

Hello,
I am currently going through the tutorials of GMS 2 and I believe I've gotten through all the videos of the basic top-down shooter game. I wanted to complete it myself, and I'm having trouble with something. I have a gameover screen and I want to display the final score, but when I try to get the score using with(obj_score) and draw_text, it doesn't seem to work. I tried setting a final variable but that didn't work either. I created a new object to display the final score, is there any way I can grab the current score before the screen goes to the gameover so I can display it with draw_text?

Thank you

What variable inside obj_score is keeping track of the score?

You could declaire a global variable and push the score to that before the gameover screen.
In your create event you could put something like:

global.final_score = undefined;

then in the game wherever you handle score where the game ends, just write:

global.final_score = obj_score.localscore;

With localscore being whatever variable you're using for score.
Then in your end of game screen you could put something like:

if(global.final_score != undefined) {
      //do things
}

Undefined is equal to -1 I think, less typing.
