GML Hp system not working

[Vincent]

Hello! I'm trying to create a hp system that works with the classical hearts, but I've tried, written and re-written the code, and I can't figure out why all the hearts appear empty (subimage 0 in the sprite)

Player's create event

global.salud = 11

Player's step event

if (place_meeting (x+1, y, obj_arana))
    {
    global.salud = global.salud - 1
    }

Health object's step event

image_index = global.salud

Thanks for your time!!

Try this:

image_index = global.salud-1;

in the step event.

image_index starts counting from 0 as shown below:

hope this helps

Your place_meeting will run every step while it's true. You'll need to add a flag variable or some invincibility time if you want to stop losing health constantly.
