How do I make a working health variable?
Hi, I am making a game called 'Stick Wars' so I need health variables.
The variable is working fine, but when the health reaches 0 I don't know how to make the my character die though (I know how to make the character die but not with variables)
Please help me!

When I Receive[game begins] set [health] to (5) wait until <(health) = [0]> die

Yes, but it should be:
When I Receive[game begins v] set [health] to (5) wait until <(health) < [1]> dieBecause health might become negative one.

No, because that will only stop that script. I think you mean to replace this:
stop scriptwith this:
stop all

I originally had a "die" block (basically, an abbreviation of whatever script he is going to use to kill the sprite. I'm not sure why joletole replaced it with "stop script".
