ok, in my game Im making I have a 'counter' to represent my guys health. It starts off as a full circle and every time he gets hurt he loses a bit of it until it is nothing.

I put

"Hero collides with Monster"
- Add 1 to Counter

but nothing happens the counter always stays the full circle, Ive tried subtracting and everything but nothing works

Try setting the counter's INITIAL value to 100, the MAXIMUM value to 100, then subtracting. You see, if the maximum is 99999999 then the relative change in the counter from 0 to 100 will be insignificant, making the game always display the full circle.

Hope that made sense.

Don't forget to go under properties and make the counter's value global to the entire game. I've forgot that too many times!

Ah, but doing that screws your game up good if you have to delete the counter. I just use a global value to transfer values...much safer, and prevents corrupting the game file.

Hem...

Shouldn't it be:

"Hero collides with Monster"
- *Substract* 1 to Counter

instead of

"Hero collides with Monster"
- Add 1 to Counter ?
