Making lives is simple on Game Maker.

  • First of all, select the object who'll need the lives.
  • Click the Control tab
  • Under the Create event, select the Set Lives action, and choose how many lives you want the player to have
  • Then select the No More Lives event (located in other). Select destroy object or something you want it to do
  • You'll also need to make it so you loose lives. You do this by going to the action (e.g. collision with enemy), and selecting the Set Lives action again. Write -1, and tick the relative box. This means it will subtract 1 life
That's the simple way. But you need to display your lives. You can do this in a couple of ways:
  • Under the Create event, select the Score Caption action and show the lives
  • Make a separate object and select the Draw event. Then select Draw Lives, and either tick the relative box (it will be exactly where the object is), or write down a position in the x and y values
  • Repeat the all above, except for the last part. Instead of selecting Draw Lives, create a separate Sprite life image, then select the Draw Life Images option. Select the sprite and positioning
It shouldn't be too hard

in the create event of the object you want to have lives, go to the score tab and drag the "Set lives" action in. in the box, type in the number of lives you want. Click OK. in any event you want it to lose a life (like collision with a ghost) drag the same action in and type -1, and check the relative box. There is a event called "No more lives" in the "other" section in the add event button. Use whatever actions you want in that event. (like "Show high score table" and "Restart game".


How do you add Lives with no codes in Game Maker 7.0 Pro?

If you want to add lives to a previous number of lives, go to the score tab and drag the "set lives" button to the table. Then type in the number of lives you want to add (ex. 5 if you wanted to add 5 lives, -2 if you wanted to lose 2) and set it to relative. This is very important because if you don't set it to relative then it will replace the last number with the new one. Unless you wanted to do that, of course.

How do you add a 'game maker executable file' to a 'website creating software' while programming?

Erm... Please rephrase the question. I'm going to do what I got from it: "How do I embed a game to my site?" The answer to that is: You cannot yet. Once Game Maker Studio is out, you can convert it to HTML5. Just learn a bit of HTML, and you can tell it to slap it onto the page. Free ad revenue galore!
