Use the Draw_GUI event and have the layers drawn in order. Here's my code as an example. It draws the black/empty hearts first and then draws full hearts over them dependant on how much health the player has any given frame
If you need something flash you could have getting hit trigger a damage timer that sets a variable like flash that's set to -1 (false) at the players creation, ticks up to a certain threshold, and resets itself every time it goes off.
The sub-image being drawn changes based on the ticks of the timer and the current health level. Then make it when the alarm hits that limit it subtracts health instead of resetting itself. You might want to set the tick to 0 at the object's creation
So
Then when it draws the health something like this to alter the sub image
But you'd have to play around with this code to make it do exactly what you want
GML:
/// @description Draw HUD
//Draw empty hearts
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 1, 10, 10);
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 1, 42, 10);
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 1, 74, 10);
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 1, 106, 10);
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 1, 138, 10);
//Draw and erase full hearts for health meter
if global.HP_Hearts >0 {
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 2, 10, 10);
}
if global.HP_Hearts >1 {
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 2, 42, 10);
}
if global.HP_Hearts >2 {
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 2, 74, 10);
}
if global.HP_Hearts >3 {
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 2, 106, 10);
}
if global.HP_Hearts >4 {
draw_sprite(HP_Heart_Spr, 2, 138, 10);
