Removing the spaceship's strength and number of lives when touched by the laser ray of an enemy.

I have created a code but it the code doesn't work properly. When I included the code, my intentions was the following: When the player's spaceship is touched by the laser ray of an enemy spaceship, the player loses 2 "spaceship's strength" points. If the "spaceship's strength" points reach 0 points, the player will lose 1 life (1 life will be subtracted in the txtLive object). If the number of lives reaches 0, the player's spaceship will expose.

Unfortunately, my code doesn't work properly, please tells me what's wrong with my code. Here's my picture:

Which bit isn't working? You can track the variables in debug view to see what they're doing. The logic looks reasonable. I could see it not working if the starting value is not a multiple of 2 so strength doesn't equal 0 but drops below to negative number maybe. There would also be a delay before you saw any explosion but it should still work.

To plinkie:

The initial value for the "SpaceshipStrength" variable is 10, so you can remove 2 points from 10 until you reach zero. Maybe that problem is to maintain the zero value for the spaceship's strength when the player's lives reach the zero value. I wonder how I am going to do this.

You still haven't said what the problem is, the variables look fine to me from that screenshot. Share the file and explain what the problem is, it can be debugged easily.

Without the file it's difficult but because it's -5 I'm going to guess there are many bullets colliding in a short space of time meaning after that wait finished player lives is then less than 0. You could change players = 0 to less than or equal to 0, that might fix it. Or you can add another condition to strength=0 which is playerlives greater than 0. The main problem I guess is that this is all in one event in the first place but it should work.

To plinkie:

The lives are still generating negative values. Earlier you were suggesting me to send you the file? I think that I will consider this option because I am wasting time on level 1 of my game for weeks now.

Sure share it on here, or I am on discord ant#4434

I guess this is again a Construct 2 issue, right ?
