Hellooo, I am trying to make a multiplayer online boss fight game with character selection, however I’m having problems with a function that in certain part checks if you’re the green character, and if you are, it gives you 200 maximum hp instead of 100 hp like it gives everyone else, however it is giving everyone that HP.

Guys I solved it, you cant check for images using logic =, you have to use the ‘‘picture is equal to ’’ in images section ---
