Sleepless nights - why score won't update

[anonymous_user_1a658005]

Good call, zoombapup - I can’t believe that I missed the AMyHUD pointer check. Okay, so I’ll connect up the collision to the GameMode class. I got the same problem when I declared a pointer to the GameMode - CRASH…

I’m just thinking about how I would go about doing this. Do I do something like this? :

AsideScroller1GameMode::AsideScroller1GameMode()
{
	//...
        livesLeft = 10;
}

Then in the Tick function write

void AsideScroller1GameMode::Tick(float DeltaSeconds)
{
    AMyActor *pMyActor = Cast<AMyActor>(UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerPawn(this, 0));
    if(pMyActor)
    {
        pMyActor->DecrementLivesRemaining(livesLeft);
    }
}
