I AM USING GAME MAKER 7

What i want to happen:

When the player collides with a stool, if he press's Z he will be asked if he wants to buy a heart.
If he says yes then the computer will check to see if he has more than 24 rubys (the currency in my game)
If the player does, than his heart container increases by 50. If not you are told that you do not have enough rubys.

I am using this code:

COLISION EVENT WITH obj_player:

message_background(box_old_man)
message_button(text_button)

if keyboard_check(ord('Z')) {show_question("Would you like to buy a hearts? they refill half your container and cost 25 ruby's."){if global.money<24{health=50} if global.money>24{show_message("sorry, but you do not have enough rubys.")}}
}

But nothing is working. (i do not get the question or anything, could someone fix the code?

I haven't read the full code, but firstly, you need to use an if before the show_question function....

Simple. The question should be assigned to a variable.

if keyboard_check(ord("Z"))
{
question=show_question("Would you like to..... blah blah")
if question = 1
{
	 if global.money>=25
	 health = 50
	 else show_message("Sorry, you do not have enough rubies.")
}
}

Cheers.

I'm not positive, but I think you do this for questions:

if show_question('whatever') = 1
{
//do this
}
else
{
//do this
}

Simple. The question should be assigned to a variable.

if keyboard_check(ord("Z"))
{
question=show_question("Would you like to..... blah blah")
if question = 1
{
	 if global.money>=25
	 health = 50
	 else show_message("Sorry, you do not have enough rubies.")
}
}

Cheers.

EDIT:
That works, but instead of increasing my health by 50 it lowers/raises it to 50.#
How can i have it so it increases the health by 50?

(so if i had 1 hp then i would have 51 one hp an so on)

In the health part of that code:

health+=50;

Just make it relative!
And anyway, you didn't have to assign a variable to the show_question....Fredo's method should work too....
