Your code is broken. Use code sample button for your code.
enter image description here

You wrote pipe.connect("pipe", label,"plusscore")
pipe doesn’t sound like a signal name to me. If pipe is a signal, did you declare/emit it?

pipe.gd which attached to pipe.tscn

extends Node

signal pipe

Every time you pipe.emit_signal("pipe"), plus_score() is called.

Also, why don’t you just label.plus_score()?
