You have no body to that if() statement you need

   if(Lives.curlives -- < 1 ) {
       //Do something here
   }

additionally keep in mind that variable-- is the post decrement operator. So the value is compared and then decremented. So when this condition becomes true the value will be "-1" and not "0"

In such cases it's better to use the pre-decrement operator. Also naturally it's more readable if you write &lt;= 0 ins$$anonymous$$d of &lt; 1

 if(--Lives.curlives <= 0 ) {
     //Do something here
 }
