[Scummbuddy]

you can add to the score whenever you feel like it.

Is it better to give it when they get and Inventory  or when they use a Inventory  on a hotspot or other Inventory  ?

To reiterate Scummbuddy, you can add score whenever you like.

But I'll offer observations as to how Sierra did it as I remember (I played more Sierra than I did LA).

The times you got points were:
1.  Getting an item
2.  Using an item the correct way in some manner
3.  Talking to a person to get info or to move story along
   3a.  As I said, something to get information you need
   3b.  perhaps incouraging someone to do something
4.  Doing something non-required, but funny
   "Your name wouldn't happen to be DICK would it?"


It comes down to:  give points when they do anything to move closer to the end of the game in a positive way.

The way I did it in my game was I counted exactly how many minimum actions are required to finish the game.  And I made that my max score.  Anytime you did something ONLY THAT BROUGHT YOU CLOSER TO FINISH did I give points.

Ok, ok, enough rambling, I'll answer your question simply...

Is it better to give it when they get and Inventory or when they use a Inventory on a hotspot or other Inventory ?

IMHO, if it brings them closer to the end of the game, yes to all.
