  Never used Inkscape but a quick Google search found this

  Edit: and this

  I tried the first one and it worked. Second one is same technique.

  Adding another button required a check on the 'else' to make sure which button we are dealing with. Then with the second button, just repeat what we did with the first. As you can see this method quickly gets cumbersome. There are some really good methods for handling buttons, you should search the tutorials.

  Edit: 2nd capx combines into one event.

  Edit: Blackhornet posted during this. I was going to suggest looking up "invert condition". Still useful Some time you might find it useful to invert the 'has LOS' condition to achieve similar results.

  Read the manual more thorougly. Placing an else can be tricky at first.

  And, it's a lot easier to get help if you upload a capx.

  Edit: I might add, doing it this way (comparing text) is error prone. I would look at different ways of doing it, using a 'normal' numeric variable. Good luck.

  There are many tutorials to find this, also the sample projects (File/New..). Learn about events, conditions, expressions. Especially if you're a 'traditional' programmer like me.

  There is a third party add-on "nickname". You can look that up.

  Edit: copy the objects from the layout, not the object folders, to an empty layout.

  Try replace the second condition with an 'else'.

  Not sure what you mean by this

  This sadly limits the maximum amounts of hearts I can have to the size of my sprite :/

  This tutorial shows the method described by kraed

  https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/565/be ... -indicator

  Another idea is to stay with your original method, but to answer the question

  But how can I remove one heart when the player dies? How do I know which one to remove?

  you can do:

  Event

  System: Pick sprite instance sprite.Count - 1

  Action

  sprite: Destroy

  Assuming they are displayed in the order they were created in (might need to re-order them first).

  It doesn't show anything about how you've tried to use pathfinding.

  Well done getting your game on the Play store. It gives me some encouragement to get a few simple games I've done up there too.

  Edit: it tells me the 1to4 game is yours also?

  I'm not 100% clear on what you are asking for, but if you just want your objects numbered sequentially, you could look at sprite.IID, an index (number) starting at 0, assigned to each created object. Each IID range is separate for every object type.
