I’m making a Half-Life game and want the enemies to die in 3 hits. maybe a variablek that tracks hits would work? idk. > **[Half-Life 2.5](https://arcade.makecode.com/S17010-63927-38729-01204)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/019385989a06550b41279c98806a175a7dac87b0.png) ---

You could use the sprite data extension ---

Love the colour palette!!! 1. Download sprite data extension 2. Make the sprite number data and set the value to the enemy life (in this case 3) when enemy is created (use on sprite of kind enemy is created block). 3. When enemy overlaps with damage source change sprite data number by -1 4. When enemy is damaged check if sprite data number ≤ 0 (less than or **equal to** is important) and if it is destroy enemy. Else do step 3 ---
