When creating new objects, variables start at 0

I have an RPG where the player fights enemies (duh). When the enemy is defeated, the player gets its gold and XP, and then the enemy is deleted. Immediately after, a new enemy is created. The new enemy has (I believe) exactly 0 health, even if I change its health variable after creating it, but it should start out with 20. I have the free version of Construct 2, if that makes a difference.

Off-topic: where are the rules? I couldn't find them.

Can you provide us some code?

Maybe c2 still has reference from old enemy?

Turns out I left some code in that deleted the enemy's health bar.

I feel so stupid.

Anyway, mods can lock this.

This is just normal. Even professional programmers do this sometimes, so don't feel stupid!
