i was just wondering how i could get a health bar to work.

right now i have my sprite then when i hit something itll resize the sprite but i can only do it once

this is what i hav so far:
[/code]IF SPRITE COLLISION(1,0)
SIZE SPRITE 24, 60, 20

ENDIF

[code]


if that is completely wrong or if anyone has any idea how to do it any help would be great.

that is probably completely wrong or am i on the right track?

Isn't that decreasing the size by 5 pixels rather than 5 percent??
To decrease it by 5%, you would have to use:

STRETCH SPRITE 24, SPRITE SCALE X(24) - (SPRITE SCALE X(24) / 20 ), SPRITE SCALE Y(24) - (SPRITE SCALE Y(24) / 20)

However, if you reduce it by 5% each frame, you'll never reach zero. So you're method was right for what he's trying to do. haha. sorry for being my nit-picky self

--This is where my sig would be if I had the energy to make one...--

Untested code. made at work in my dinner break but hopefully even if it doesn't work it should give you an idea.
