Scripts not working!
I am making a game called Stranded. It has 9 sprites and 68 scripts (with 49 of them only having 2 or 3 blocks in them). All the sprites only have one costume, but the stage has four backgrounds. All the sprites have names (not "Sprite1", "Sprite2", etc.) It has 5 regular variables, and 2 specific to the sprite "Tree". If one of "Hunger", "Thirst", or "Injury" gets to 10, or if "Health" gets to 0, the background is supposed to change to a black screen with "You died o3o" written in white in the font "Helvetica Bold" in the size 24.
See that part I bolded? That's not working. This is the script I used for it:
<when green flag clicked>
<if><( <{ Health }> <=> 0 )>
<switch to costume[ background4 (Except it's switch to BACKGROUND, since it's stage.)
(hide variable Health)
(hide variable Hunger)
(hide variable Injury)
(hide variable Thirst)
<end>
(then repeat for Hunger, Injury, and Thirst (it's all on the same script, just different "if" blocks.) )
Did I do anything wrong? If so, how do I fix it?
(Also, if you don't understand, I'd be happy to edit this post.)

Re: Scripts not working!
You could have accidentally said for the tree to show itself forever. When scripts conflict, the first one usually takes presidence.

I tried making all the sprites hide when you die just now, and it still doesn't work.
And the tree is a sprite, I don't see how it would effect the background changing . . .
I'm going to upload the project as it is. I'm bad at wording things, so if it was available to download and look at the sprites it would be easier, I think.
EDIT: Here it is.

You said you did the same for each. Don't the others need to be 10 and not 0?
By "the same for each", I meant the same blocks, but I DID use 10 for the others.

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>

(hide variable Health)

Try that.
