Make some variable ints for health etc etc and labels to display their values...

eg

Open Global Variables Panel in the editor, right click to add new variable.
Name: Health 
Type: Int
Value: 100 // what ever your maximum health is.

Make a label on the gui and Name it say LHealth_Status

In Global.asc in repeatedly_execute_always()

add the label name like this:

Code: ags

   LHealth_Status.Text=String.Format("%d",Health);

This has a default Value of 100.

If you want to minus 5 from Health simply use this in script where you want it to apply...

Code: ags

// After doing this
    Health -=5;
// This will make your health read 95 (100 -5)

of course it depends how you want it displayed..

Just check the status of Health and run events accordingly..

Code: ags

if(Health <=0) // Health is at or lower than 0
 RestartGame();

You could even use a health bar that reduces as it lowers...or rises with more health.

This is a starting place...
