    Hey guys,

    I have a game where you can get hit 3 times before you die.. How can I add a hit counter where a heart or something will disappear with each hit?

    Thank you for helping me out. Its really appreciated.

    Man, really? This was posted just 5 posts before yours. Do you guys read the forum and use the search feature before you come here and ask? This question has been asked literally a thousand times. Don't want to be the badass but sometimes this is really annoying. Cheers!

    I don't think Christoph's intention is to be rude to you, he has helped many of members on this board. But it's true a lot of new members will come here and just create threads without searching the forums first or watching the free tutorials (and in some cases not even trying themselves!)

    Welcome to the BB forums though, good luck :)

    It's Def worth searching for as there is a post that tells ypu how to make a 3 hit health bar with layers,I am on my phone otherwise I'd do the leg work for you

    I mean come on. Five posts earlier (at 4:11 pm) someone asked the same: https://www.buildbox.com/forum/index.php?threads/adding-health-to-character.7352/#post-38741. Not even 5 hours have past from the answer that would have brought you to the solution of your question which is: https://www.buildbox.com/forum/index.php?threads/health-bar-tutorial-coming-soon.4316/ But you had to ask again...

    Sorry if I was rude. It wasn't my intention. I'm happy to help but everybody should do their homework first.

    @andre_sprs It would probably be really handy to have a FAQ stickied at the top of the forums that linked people to relevant threads and resources like the user manual and the video series. If it's something we could all contribute to give us a shout! :)

    @blackswan I dig that idea!

    Another thought a "wiki" that we can update and change our selves for shortcuts or how to's because I forget stuff all the time must be alzheimer's.

    This has been approved and I will begin creating a Sticky for each category. Thanks for the suggestion, the buildbox team really like this idea.
