Toy box leaderboards

So I've uploaded a toy box with the challenge maker but its not showing a leaderboard and the score doesn't stay on screen long enough so people know their scores.

Is there a vital step I'm missing? Is there a way to keep the score on screen for longer?

Did you have a scoreboard hooked to the challenge maker for results?

Okay yeah I see you have a counter that I assume is tracking the points for display. This is fine but you have to have a Scoreboard Creativitoy running in the background. You basically duplicate the increment connections you have going to the counter display to also add to player 1's score. (For example the Pastry Tracker increments the counter one. So it should also increment player 1's score on the scoreboard by one) This scoreboard then needs to be linked to the Challenge Maker as a New Score Results link.

IMPORTANT: Go into the properties of the scoreboard and adjust the "Play To" score up from 3 to the target score or beyond.

You can also turn the visible display off allowing the counter you already have set up to be the only display. (It looks nicer for a one player challenge than the scoreboard)

What if it was a time based game? The scoreboard wouldn't make sense.

@jaysusername That would use a timer hooked for time results to the challenge maker.
