Sorry what do you mean by fields in my world class and by area I am trying to access the score, do you mean the method I want to use it in? Sorry about this and thanks for persevering.

Anything not inside a method or constructor would do.

and by area I am trying to access the score, do you mean the method I want to use it in?

Yes.

Well I am still slightly confused by the fields and I don't want to keep trying to guess what you mean so here is the entire world code and I want implement:

if(score == 10)
{
        addObject(new Square2, 0, 0);
}

public class mainWorld extends World
{
    Score score = new Score();

    public mainWorld()
    {    
        super(256, 512, 1);
        setBackground("Background.png");
        
        Greenfoot.setWorld(new mainMenu());
        
        if(score == 10)
        {
            addObject(new Square2(), 0, 0);
        }
        
        displayUser();
        displayDefault();
        displayScore();
        getScore();
    }
    
    public void displayUser()
    {
        User userMain = new User();
        addObject(userMain, 128, 48);
    }
    
    public void displayDefault()
    {
        int randomXe1 = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(256);
        int randomXe2 = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(256);
        int randomXe3 = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(256);
        
        addObject(new Rectangle(), randomXe1, 512);
        
        addObject(new Rectangle2(), randomXe2, 512);
        
        addObject(new Square(), randomXe3, 512);
}
    
    public void displayScore()
    {
        score = new Score();
        addObject(score, 128, 505);
    }
    
    public Score getScore()
    {
        return score;
    }
}

Thanks again.

Remove line 44 from the mainWorld code above. Ok, the main problem is that 'score' in the world class is a Score object (not an 'int'). You cannot compare 'score' with an 'int' You might try 'score.score == 10'. However, lines 12 through 15 of the mainWorld class above should not be in the world constructor which is only executed when the world itself is instantiated. I was going to say to add a 'public void act()' method to the class and put that code in there, but there is one more problem that will need to be dealt with. The score may stay at '10' for many act cycles and we only want to create one Square2 object. It might be better to place this code at the place where you increment the score

Well I increase the score when 1 of 3 objects reaches the top of the screen so I'm not sure how I would do that then I will try it out and see what happens thanks.

But all three would call 'addScore' in the Score class, right? and that is where the value of the int that holds the score gets incremented -- in the Score class.

Yeah you were right. I added 'public void act()' and it now works however, it adds 3 objects as you thought may happen so I am almost there. Is there a way to put a cap on the number of squares that can be added for that if statement?

How many of them do you want to create when the score reaches 10?

Just the 1 if possible.

Will it remain at least until the score increases again. or is there any chance of it being removed before the score increases again?

It will remain until the game is over.

Then you can use:

if (score.score == 10 && getObjects(Square2.class).isEmpty())

Ahhh thank you, I will try it now.

It works thanks, but if I wanted more than one what would I do then?

Never mind I just changed .isEmpty() to .size() < 2
