Games like, PSO, Blaze & Blade, Infact nearly every RPG does it I think So how can I get this effect is TGF? n/a

Or use one counter and when you hit them, place it over their head. -Andy Creator of Faerie Solitaire: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7792 Also creator of ZDay20 and Dungeon Dash. http://www.Jigxor.com http://twitter.com/JigxorAndy

If you want an easy way, I suggest upgrading, otherwise you might choose to make an active object with each possible number that can be taken off an enemies health. It doesnt take too long (I did the numbers 0-100 in two different colours, so 202 numbers in total for a game I made years back when I used TGF...) If you have something like PS you can download scripting support that'll generate all the images for you, PP has the same thing and doesnt require you to download a seperate plugin (I wish I had those back when I did it!)

Active object, with numbers 0 to 9, use the animation frames for values, you can even change the colour then. jenswa.neocities.org
