Question

I got my score counter to show up on my GUI Text, yet when I switch to another object with the same script its resets the score to zero. What can i change or add to stop it from resetting?

var speed = 5;
var buck = 100;
var deer = 10;
private var score : int = 0;
var ScoreBoard: GUIText;


function Update () {
    transform.position += Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * speed;
}

function OnMouseEnter () {
    Debug.Log("Hit");
    speed = 15;
    deer += 10;
    ScoreBoard.text = ("Score: ") + deer;
}   

function OnMouseExit () {
    Debug.Log("Safe");
    speed = 5;
}

You can declare score as a static variable:

static var score : int = 0;

A static variable is created once at the program beginning, lives while the program is running and is unique: all script instances use the same variable. Non-static variables exist in each script instance and are independent of each other.

Wait. Are you attaching the same script to multiple objects? Because if you're doing that, this will treat each 'val deer' as different ones.

You'd need to setup a control script that acts as a global counter. This controller script can handle things like score keeping.
