how i can made a boss healt meter? i want to show, how many lives, the boss haves!

Well, you have to use it in a multi-screen custom boss. Then, you just get some health meter graphics, and put them on a layer. Show a different health value on each successive screen. It's pretty simple. Making the custom boss is the hard part.

Also, you can't use health meters with regular boss enemies.

You can only do that if you have a custom boss.

If you do, just draw a full health bar on a layer, and when you warp Link after hitting the boss, just use a different layer, with a partially filled bar.

I'm assuming you already know how to make a simple custom boss, so if this was confusing, I hope this will clarify:

CODE

Each row reapresents a "cycle" for the boss
[]= Normal screen    X = Screen where Link hits boss (warp)

Layer 3 = full health bar:  [] [] [] [] [] X
                             ______________|
                            |
Layer 3 = 2/3 health bar:   [] [] [] X
                             ________|
                            |
Layer 3 = 1/3 health bar:   [] [] [] [] X
                                        |
                                        V
Layer 3 = Nothing:            Boss dies (warp to empty room)
