How to keep a score between levels without it resetting?

Hi my character has a certain score and I want it to continue into the next level without it resetting. I’ve tried using the “keep between levels” but then the character starts duplicating and making a mess. Could someone please help me?

Thanks

Use a save block. Have the score go in the save block every time it changes, and at the beggining of a level make it output as well.

The suggestion @meburningslime posted will work fine. Another option is to store the score in a separate object offscreen, and set that object to “keep between levels”. This will keep the object from resetting between levels
