  You want a function with a loop on a subevent that loops "player health times", and it creates a heart at position + (loopindex * spacing). The function also destroys all hearts before the loop

  On Function "hud_health" -> Destroy "heart"
      Repeat player.health times -> Create object "heart" at X + (loopindex * spacing), Y
  [/code:2bnmffbq]
  
  You call the function whenever the player takes damage, collects a life and at the start of the layout

  You should check the blending example. Go File > New > "Example: Blend modes" and see how it's done

  You browser and/or GPU might not be able to display it. IIRC rendering an effect on the whole layer is a different process than rendering it on a single sprite. Try updating you graphics card and try other previews methods

  Read about Families here. You can't mix families and the objects they contain. If you have a condition that uses a family, the action also has to use the family, and not a single object from it

  You can use "Pick top/bottom" and it'll pick just one

  You can simply do Family > Compare Variable. The actions will only apply to the objects of the family that fulfill that condition

  See How events work

  Or you can use "Set" instead of "Subtract"

  Set variable -> max(variable - 5, 0)[/code:39b0xhzm]
  [url=https://www.scirra.com/manual/126/system-expressions#h2ix3]Max, Min and Clamp[/url] are math functions you can use if you want to set limits to your value.
  
  Max(a, b) where [b]a[/b] is your value, and [b]b[/b] is the lower limit

  It should also be noted that cloned and duplicated Sprites use the same underlying image, so if you are changing cloned sprites it will change all of them, I believe.

  All you have to do is check the name of the object. If it has the same name, it's the same object. If it has a different name (when you clone the name gets a number added to the end) it means it's a different object

  A layout is just a space where you put the objects. You duplicate a layout in order to keep the same layers and objects, and then you add new objects or move them as needed. The animations of an object are global, but everything else (variables, size, transparency, position, etc) is unique to each copy of the object

  The objects window is global to the entire project, the only way to see the objects in a layout basis is to use the Z Order bar

  This can simply be done with:

  For each object (ordered by object.Y) > object move to top[/code:211q1v6z]

  The problem is that there's no system in place to pair the enemies with the health bars. Whenever an enemy dies, the health bar is not destroyed and it's moved to another enemy (which can be seen in debug mode)

  This can be easily fixed by using containers

  I also did a little cleanup on the events. You can put the "find path" right after spawning the enemy, and the health bar positioning now happens every frame
