	So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

Holly crap, do you guys give any positives? I sorry for all the gliches, but I mean going out of the level is not really a glitch, thats just me being to lazy to solid up all the edges. as for the animations and bush cutting, these are easy to fix, just by switching some events. make the bombs and people solid, not really very complicated to fix. Anyone with gm should be able to fix these "gliches" its just me being lazy.

It's not bad, but I noticed that the heart engine is way overcomplicated. Mine was much simpler. Let's see if I can find it . . .
Here it is, modified from a tutorial by goodnight (probably about 2/3 of my engine is based on something from goodnight.)

First, the heart engine object. There's no create event, only a draw event with this code:

Code: [Select]

for (i=0; i<floor(global.totalhearts); i+=1)
draw_sprite(sprHUDHeart, min(max(global.hearts-i,0),1)*4, view_xview[0]+6+((i mod 10)*8), view_yview[0]+6+((i div 10)*8))

This is the point where I leave goodnight's tutorial and start my additions.

Then in objLink's create event, I added:

Code: [Select]

global.hearts=3
global.totalhearts=3
global.heartpiece=0

And that's all. A .25 increment in global.hearts is a quarter heart. Unfortunately, It has no beating heart.

for a heart piece, the code should be:

Code: [Select]

global.heartpiece+=1
if global.heartpiece=4{global.heartpiece=0
global.totalhearts+=1}

followed by whatever message you want to show. I haven't actually tested this myself, but it should work.

For a recovery heart (which you don't seem to have included) the collision event with objLink should be

Code: [Select]

global.hearts+=1
instance_destroy()
if global.hearts>global.totalhearts{global.hearts=global.totalhearts}

You don't have to add all of this. It's just much more efficient. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a beating heart like yours does (I'm working with unregistered gm7 and can't be bothered to resprite the heart in different sizes.

I hope this was more or less understandable. I'm usually on the other end of the explanation.
