To show lives in text, do display text and for what to display put in the attribute for lives. To make the actor destroy after lives are over, in the actor you want to destroy, put "if lives = 0 destroy actor". Hope this helps everybody who sees this!

or you can have a heart image or whatever and use replicate, then tie the amount of copys to the game lives attribute
and have a rule when attribute lives is equal to or less then 0 destroy
