I have three bits of code that make up the counter This is in the background to allow access to the actor generating the points: 
private Cover cover;
...
public Cover returnCover()
{
    return cover;
}
This is the code in the actor that generates and returns the points: 
boolean go = true;
int points = 0
...
if(go == false)#this is when the game has started
{
    Background background = (Background) getWorld();
    Background.newLine();
    points++;
}
this is the code for the actor that is needed to make the background display the points as the other is removed to stop the points have been counted. 
Cover cover2 = background.returnCover();
cover2.getPoints();
world.removeObjects(cover);
I know something is wrong with the code but I'm not sure what.

Change the first line to 
private Cover cover = new Cover();
Then, when adding it to the world, you have something like this: 
addObject(cover, 100, 100);
The second line of the third part of code gets the points, but doesn't use or save it. 
cover2.getPoints();
Well, I don't see the method, but I guess it's a normal getter method.

The last line of code given, 'getWold().removeObject(cover);', uses 'cover'-- not 'cover2'. I cannot say if this is what you want or not; but, I did not see 'cover' defined or used elsewhere in the class. If you are trying to remove the Cover object that is returned by 'returnCover' in your Background class, then 'cover' needs to be changed to 'cover2' in that line.

cover is defined elsewhere in the class is defined elsewhere as they occupy the same space but I can't use the same cover to get the cover.points()
