I think you should use costumes, as it is easier and more beginner-friendly.

First of all, you need two variables, Health, and Maxhealth.
Maxhealth is the maximum health the object has, and health will be the current amount of health the object has.
Let's create a new sprite called “HealthBar”, and these two new variables.

set [Maxhealth v] to [10]
set [Health v] to (maxhealth)

Create 6 costumes. Make one a health bar that is empty, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, and full.
Rename the costumes to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
It should look something like this:

Then, every frame of the game, you want to update the costume of the sprite to accurately show the health.
Use this code:

switch costume to (round(((Health) / (Maxhealth)) * (5)))

It will calculate the fraction of health the character has, scale it up to the costume number, and then round it to an integer.
You can use this in a forever loop to make a hotbar.

If you want to detect if a character is dead, use this:

if <<(health) = (0)> or <(health) < (0)>> then
... //Do what you want in here
end

Hope that this helped!
