  In the enemy actor:
  
  --Rule
  ---When attribute self.health = 0 then:
  ----Change game.money to game.money + 20
  ----Destroy
  
  Hope this helps.

  thank you so much for your help, this is my first game (if you cant tell allready haha) i have one more question, whenever i go to make graphics/images, and when i bring them into gamesalad, they are ALLWAYS a square, i can never get it so that only the image is there and the "corners" arent there. and i cant make images transparent... is there a certain program that people use? because that will be really helpful

  when you make an image in photoshop (or what ever software you use, select new layer, draw it on the new layer, and delete the background layer. save it as an PNG and you are done

  you add the attribute into the actor, not into the game attributes

  attribute needs to be an integer

  that doesnt matter. The only difference between real and interger is that real attributes can be deciamls

  Make a self attribute called "health" - should be an integer.
  
  When overlaps or collides with bullet
  
  Change attribute self.health to self.health-1
  
  If self health is less than or equal to 0,
  change attribute money to money +20
  destroy actor
  
  That should do it.
  
  Cheers,

  i figured it out guys! what was happening was when i would put what the attribute was going to change to, i would just type it in instead of finding it and making it be in that blue oval haha and i have one question... i have it so that every 1.5 seconds it shoots a bullet, but whenever you press the fire button (space for now, untill i figure out how to make a button haha) it shoots, but when you press it, it wait to shoot instead of shooting right away... so, i made it so that there is a spawn actor out and inside of the timer, but then you can make it so that you shoot faster when you press the button more often (which i dont want)
  thanks for the help buy the way

  make an attribute reload.(a boolean)
  set it to false
  when touch is press change it to true
  make another rule that says when attribute reload is true after1.5s ,change attribute to false
  and you can only shoot when it is false
