I have my score variable updating in my Archery game. However, I cannot get the score to update correctly. Every time it updates, the new text just pastes over the old text.
I have tried it inside of the getMedal() function, outside of the getMedal() function, inside the render() function.

I expect it to show the score, with only one set of text, rather than pasting over the "SCORE: 0" over and over.
I have found the solution:
update() method, you should set them before the preload() function.scoreBoard = this.add.text(440, 40, "SCORE: 0", {fontSize: '32px', fill: '#fff'}); in the create() method.scoreBoard.setText('Score: ' + score) after the last else if statement inside the getMedal() function.The final code would be like so:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
EDIT:
The OP asked me to fix an extra issue with the score amount which was not displaying the right score. I fixed it by removing the getMedal() function & its if statement wrapper outside of while loop like so:
//Loop to create multiple arrows
while (i < this.arrows.length) {
newArrows = this.arrows[i];
newArrows.setGravityY(0);
newArrows.setVelocityX(0);
newArrows.setVelocityY(0);
//Add 30 to the new medal's x position
arrowOnTargetPositionX = arrowOnTargetPositionX + 40;
i++;
}
//Call the function to determine medal and pass the variable
if(this.arrows.length <= 5) {
getMedal(arrowOnTargetPositionX);
}
