I don't understand 2/3 of the scripts in the game,but if you mean you need a way to clear the HUD without erasing the bomb explosion then just use a costume the same color as the background that stamps itself over the HUD.

The stage needs to be cleared every frame for the HUD and the Bombs.

I don't know what you mean.

This always happens when I ask for help.

OK - the UI and bomb effect are printed onto the stage.

The UI's code erases the stage and prints the UI
The Bomb's code prints an explosion graphic when it is exploding.
The player detected the explosion colour and if touching it dies.

The UI code needs to be executed before the bomb's explosion every frame otherwise the bomb is erased from the stage before the player detects the collision - thus the player does not die and the explosion is invisible. The player needs to be executed after the bomb otherwise the player will be detecting for something that hasn't happened yet.

So:

Sprite 1 in order:
UI erases stage => Empty Stage => Prints UI onto stage => UI printed

Sprite 2 in order:
Bomb querys if is exploding or not => if it is then it stamps the explosion => The explosion is now on the stage

Sprite 3 in order:
Stage has UI and explosions printed => Player detects if touching explosion colour => If it is then sets "Died?" to 1.

I need the sprites to execute the code in this way and no other.

Ah - i found out the issue. The order doesn't change if you re-call a broadcast that is already running (forgot to make the script stop when the bomb isn't placed)

Oh wow this is great 

Unrelated to your problem: Yeah this is really impressive. Although may I reccomend using array-based collision like in my projects?

Related to your problem: I dunno

Array based collision is buggy and inaccurate. Sure - it is a tile based game (16x16) but normal collision is much less script intensive, simpler for potential remixers to understand and on the overall more supportive.

Hmmm i m mending it 

OMG U  GOT IT !!!!!!!

anyways but i dunno why it isnt opening the file


aarrrghhh why dont u use 4shared instead .
