Help with lives

Pineapple_King

Hey all, this is my first post in this particular forum, i just started using gs and i am working my way up designing a pachinko board. (we all got to start from somewhere :P)
My problem is this:
Every time i click the mouse button i spawn an actor (ball).
I want to use a limited number of spawns (ex. 10)
i am representing these limited spawns as lives on the top left corner (10 small hearts lets say)
Every time a spawn/mouse click occurs you are supposed to lose a life.
I want that one by one the hearts disappear, as if the player is losing a life after each click.
Help me create this rule please, I only wish i made myself clear enough...
thanks, keep it up

create a game attribute called lives (integer)

in the button you click that spawns the ball:

rule when touch is pressed AND (ALL)
when game.lives > 0

change attribute game.lives to game.lives-1
Spawn ball actor

in the heart actor use replicate and just put in game.lives for the number of replications

First make an integer attribute then call it lives
Then put in this on button actor

Rule:
Touch is pressed

attribute lives is >0
Change attribute lives -1
