pseudocode follows

on create actor
textNumber = 3

actor character
on destroy character
textGoal.textNumber = textGoal.textNumber -1;
{
if ( textGoal.textNumber == 0)
/* do game over stuff here */

Have you looked at GE's Help--> Game Stuff?
There are several demo tutorials that deal with making scores.

[grittmaster69]

i need to know how to make it so it will cout down 3 lives and end the game at 0 but i dont kno how . i know how to make it count down but not to end the game at a cirtain point.

You can try this:

yourCounter = yourCounter - 1;
if(yourCounter <= 0)
{
ExitGame();
}
