Can somebody have a look at this game code and tell me why the countdown clock is not initiating at score 10? My student wants to have the game start a countdown clock at a certain score, and give the player that much time to score a number of additional points or they lose. However, the countdown doesn’t initiate when “On Score.” > **[Wakanda Forever](https://arcade.makecode.com/S10167-50075-38692-35303)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

@goffchris I think this might be related to another bug that we’re currently looking at where only one `on score` block will work. We have an update planned to fix it. In the meantime, you should be able to get around this by adding a score checker to the overlap where the score happens (after the score): ![Screenshot by Dropbox Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/6fa9b11ad2d8147e2307de90569943ac1ff0f437.png) I know it’s annoying, but we’re working on it! @jwunderl - Do you think that’s what’s happening here? ---

Yes, if you go from blocks to typescript you’ll see it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/7/7235fd4fc9665e2ee2a89268c26e594f2b594c12.png) the second onScore ‘overrides’ the first. The PR that fixes it is here: [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/1436](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/pull/1436), it’s working in beta but we have to do a hotfix for that issue~ ---

Just put one of the guardians/warriors (I don’t know what they’re called) in the upper left corner and you win fast
