I want to create a life system, to where a unit walks into this region and takes away 1 life.

That's all I have so far... I know this is probably going to be something to do with variables, just don't know how to go about it.

you will need to make an integer variable. call its "lives" to stay simple
Then use this:

• Set lives = (lives - 1)

Alright... Have that set, but how do I set what the total amount of lives is?

• Losing Lives
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 009 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
  • Actions
    • Set Lives = (Lives - 1)

EDIT: I set the integer to 20 lives when you edit the string. Is that how you do it? (Or the value I think it is called.)

How would I display in a chat message to the players how many lives they have left if one is lost. I only have this, I know I need some type of thing to make it recognize the integer.

• Game - Display to (All players) for 3.00 seconds the text: You have lost a lif...

for setting the # of lives, try:

• Set Lives
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Action
    • Set - Set Lives = 20

As for displaying the # of lives left, use string String Concatenations and Conversion - Integer to String:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (You have + ((String(Lives)) + lives left.))

I do not understand how to get his part of the last line: (You have + ((String(Lives)) + lives left.))

And for the other part I have...

• Set Lives
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Lives = 20

And

• Losing Lives
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 009 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
  • Actions
    • Set Lives = (Lives - 1)
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 3.00 seconds the text: You have lost a lif...

(Still need to do the Game - Display line.)
