I’m trying to make a score counter that adds 100 points to my score on the GUI when an enemy is shot but I get an error.
Hi and welcome to Defold.
A few things going on here. First of all, you are using the same variable to store two things: A node and a number. Suggest doing something like:
self.score = 0
self.score_node = gui.get_node("score")
The function gui.set_text() takes a node and a text. So in this case it would be:
gui.set_text(self.score_node, self.score)
I also note that you are trying to call tostring(). to.string() is not a valid function, it should be:
tostring(self.score)
However - you do not need to convert the number to a string. You can just pass the number.

In the future, please post code as text.
Use ``` on either side of the code to format nicely.
```
local foo = “bar”
```
Becomes:
local foo = "bar"
This is much more readable and means the code is searchable too!
