hi im pretty rubbish at BASIC but i have come up with a code that may work for a health bar and i was hoping someone with more knowlage than me could make it so GE knows what im saying.
my idea was you have --- te tell you how many lives you have so you make an actor and make its text :3.
and make a code a little bit like this

Code: Select all

Live_count.textNumber = Live_count.textNumber - 1;
if(Live_count).textNumber= 0 destroy actor Player

Use the code like this:

In a create actor script for your actor Live_count put:
textNumber =3;


Put this on your player's collision script with a bullet or whatever:

Live_count.textNumber -=1;
if (Live_count.textNumber == 0){ DestroyActor("Event Actor");}



Note:
-the way you did the first line is fine, this way is just cleaner.
-one equals sign is used to assign a value
-two equals signs checks a value

Thx mate you really helped me!!! i added a point 4 u

hold on i wroth that post before i tried it out (looked at the code and it looked fine) but when you try it out its not deleting itself

did you make the life count actor a text actor?
Click on your actor, click on Text, add a New Font, add a 0 to the text field, click ok.

here is a demo

Game Editor basicaly uses C, not BASIC.

This is little out of topic, but has the GE code a name?
I've always called it ennobled C.

Thx you guys help me so much

It is usually called C, but maybe we can call it Cge

GEC
Game Editor C

or maybe even GECscript®...... Suns got their Java, MSs got their VB, but we've got the GEC... Too bad Geico has the Gecko already, could be our mascot....

We could have
GEysir
It doesn't have the C tought...
