Create 3 Lives then subtract

Hi there, I built a nice shooter game but I'm having some difficulties in setting 3 lives by default, subtract one after each destroy and a game over screen. Can anyone help me please? :) Thanks in advance.

Also, how do I create a new level?

Create a global variable and set it to 3 by default. Each destroy, substract 1 to the variable.

When your variable equals zero, go to game over screen.

Thanks guys :)

I created the global variable > Life=3

On Destroy the player if health runs out, I set subtract 1 from life.

What Im having the challenge in is setting the image to display the lives available.

I have a health bar, it is working fine, but somehow I cant seem to get the life to be deducted by one on each layout reset. :(

spikegotti : Did you substract the live Before restarting or just after?

Hi, I set the life to 3 on start, then set life to -1 after restart layout.

I think, on your actions, you should do:

Set lives to -1

Restart Layout

in this order, or else, the layout is restarted before, so the conditions are

Thank you very much... Its working, but I don't see the image for the life :( sorry for being such an annoying n00b :/

Thanks for the help guys, everything fixed :D
