could you help me? I am making a game in which the boss must only die after 5 hits. How can I do that?

There's a number of ways to do this, but I'd do it like this:

when gf clicked
set [bosshealth v] to (5) // make a variable for the boss's health
clear graphic effects
show
forever
 if <touching [projectile v]?> // whatever the sprite for the projectile is
 change [bosshealth v] by (-1)
 wait until <not <touching [projectile v]?> > // this is to make it so that each shot only hits once
 end
 if <(bosshealth) = (0)> 
repeat (10) // modify this death script to suit you
change [ghost v] effect by (10)
change [brightness v] effect by (-10)
end
hide
stop script

To aid smoothness, you might want to break up the death and projectile sensing bits into separate scripts, like this:

when gf clicked
set [bosshealth v] to (5)
clear graphic effects
show
forever
 if <touching [projectile v]?>
 change [bosshealth v] by (-1)
 wait until <not <touching [projectile v]?> >
 end
 if <(bosshealth) = (0)> // this will stop the script when the boss dies
 stop script
 end
end

when gf clicked
forever
if <(bosshealth) = (0)> 
repeat (10)
change [ghost v] effect by (10)
change [brightness v] effect by (-10)
end
hide
stop script

I'm completely new to the scratchblocks bb code thing, so I hope I didn't mess it up.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

How to make it so that clicking a sprite hides other sprites and shows others?
