Multi-Health variables

Hey everybody , kinda new to construct and the forums.

i have been looking around for a while to a solution to this problem.

i am trying to create a metroid esc game and i can't quite figure out how to create the ever increasing number of health bars ( tanks), i've created the player's health with a variable and limited it and then created a power up that activates the second health variable but i cant figure out how to tell the system that i want it to take the health from the second health variable and then the first , it ends up taking form both instead.

if anybody could give me just a guide to creating this kind of system or

just advice on it i would be grateful

Thanks.

apologize if this is a stupid easy to fix problem by the way.

Could you increase your max health with each tank, then display it visually as different health pools? Is there a gameplay difference (such as attacks can only empty out one tank and no more)? If not, this may be the easiest solution.

If you could explain your problem in terms of C2 objects/plugins, it may be easier to understand what exactly it is you're trying to do.

If you're trying to interact with two different instances of one object, like a sprite, you need to use two different conditions. One condition that selects your player, and another that selects your tank.

Think of events+conditions like putting objects into a basket. Whatever action you run will change all of the object instances that are in the basket at that time. So use sub-events and more conditions to divide the basket up until you have the exact object you want to act on. Selecting by UID is pretty good but requires a tiny bit of overhead in order to manage it. Or you can select by nearest, or overlap, or a bunch of other ways to get only the object you want.

Peace.

ok the first suggestion seems to have worked well , thanks to both of you for the help this will defiantly help in future :).
