It would be helpful if you posted a link to your project.
You have not assigned anything to `stored variable Pointcount` so that is not going to get saved to the device.
Also, when you use a stored variable, you have to check if its value is null (when screen opens) and if it is, assign it a starting value such as 0.

The two variables shown with the yellow arrows need to be the **same** variable
And at the bottom of the screenshot, you are setting `disableTimestampadone` twice when you should be setting `Pointcount` for the second block.
Also, if you set a stored variable and then change the value being stored, that’s the wrong order. You should set `stored variable Pointcount` to `stored variable Pointcount - 10` and then set `Points count's Text` to `stored variable Pointcount`. Otherwise, you are only changing the value being displayed… you’re not changing the value being saved to the device.

This is the code i did and it also worked but there are fews problems -
1- When i click on ad1(button) point shows 10 but when i press back the time automatically gets vanish means there are no points shown. i don’t why and might be they get auto reset at 0 i think.
2 - i want that when i click on ad1 it should add point and it did . but when i click on button 2 it should add 10 points to that point which is already there … Elobrate/Explanation
made a button named ad1 ok and ad2 ok
now when i click on ad1 it shows 10 point ok but doesn’t add 10 point when i click on ad2 to the same points which came on clicking on ad1 button. thankyou sir for helping out.

But you are mentioning event blocks (ad1 click, ad2 click) that were wrong in the last screenshot and you didn’t provide an updated screenshot. So that’s why I asked for a project link.

You are using different variables to save the points:
If you want the Ad1 and Ad2 buttons to add points to the same sum then you need to use a **single** variable for that.

Do you have blocks that say when screen opens, set label’s text to stored variable Pointcount2?
If so, post a screenshot of those blocks.

Also I want to make a button when we click on that button points should get zero. Please tell me blocks so that I can make this possible

Then I would do that…
And if you want to set a variable to zero, then try to set up blocks for that. If you have trouble, post a new screenshot.

You can watch the Variables tutorial video here: [Variables - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables)
It will explain how to use them.
