Trouble with scoring and pick ups

Questions & Answers
1

So I’m trying to use pick ups and finishing levels to score my Tilting board game, however I’m having trouble with actually getting the score to increase when this is done. I have got script that changes level and removes objects upon trigger, but the increasing score is where I’m hitting a wall, no matter what i try i get errors, any help is appreciated.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PickUp : MonoBehaviour
{	
	public int points = 10;	

	public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider) 
	{
		Destroy (this.gameObject);
	}
}

This is the script for the pick up objects, so far it can only remove them from the board:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class TiltGUI : MonoBehaviour
{		
	public static int totalScore;
	
	void OnGUI()	
	{	
		GUI.Label(new Rect(10,20,100,30), "Score: " + totalScore);
	}
}

This puts the score value on the top of the screen, although at the moment it remains at 0

Oh you made it static, that’s why. Silly me.

if (collider.gameObject.tag == /* The game object that is supposed to pick it up.*/){
     TiltGUI.totalScore += points;
 }
