property points, pointsForThisSprite

on mouseUp?
points = points + pointsForThisSprite
alert("You scored "&pointsForThisSprite&" points!")
end

on getPropertyDescriptionList me
pdlist = [:]
pdef = [#comment: "Number of points for this sprite",#format:#integer,#default:0]
addprop pdlist,#pointsForThisSprite,pdef
return pdlist
end



on mousedown
set points = 100
if points < -10 then puppetSound(1,member("BadLuckSound"))



if points < +10 then puppetSound(1,member("SuccessSound"))

end if
end

This is a cleaned-up version of the first part of your script:
--
global points
property pointsForThisSprite

on mouseUp me
if integerP(points) < 1 then points = 0
points = points + pointsForThisSprite
alert("You scored" && pointsForThisSprite && "points!")
alert("Your total score is" && points && "points")
end mouseUp

on getPropertyDescriptionList me
pdlist = [:]
pdef = [#comment:"Number of points for this sprite", #format:#integer, #default:0]
pdlist.addprop(#pointsForThisSprite, pdef)
return pdlist
end

This will add (or subtract) points, which you define in the Behavior property window, each time the mouse is clicked. It alerts the points scored and the total score.

If I understood you correctly, you would have number of buttons with various points assigned (the points can be negative number) and they will change the overall score when clicked. Therefore the variable "points" should be Global.
