Mysterious gui object?

Questions
1

continuing my heart system, using a cloned database to keep track of the hearts. however I found this issue that at the end of my health bar, there is one heart which a: doesn’t have a id (i’ve printed and emptied the whole table and its still there), I’ve been trying to fix it but I don’t know what it is or why its there, its not the original heart which I’m cloning from either. Any help would be appreciated

Are you aiming for ten hearts? The while loop happens 11 times. It goes from 0 to 10 (less than or equal to hearts).

I’ve fixed that now. however the invincible mystery heart is still present

To enable and disable gui you should use gui.set_enabled(). You will need to enable the gui before cloning and then disable after you are done. API reference (gui) (defold.com)

Try

function init(self, dt)
self.hearttable= {}
	for i = 10 do
		-- this code will be run ten times
		self.hearttable[i] = gui.clone(gui.get_node("heart1")
	end

this will create a table with 10 hearts in it.

Is it the original heart that you have cloned 10 times?
