I have a enemy that shoots bullets. When the bullets hit the player it sends an Activation event to my health. the activation event tells my health bar to [animpos -- ;] lower one animation.

However the enemy creates the bullet on a timer. every 1 second or so it creates a bullet. When my player hits the first bullet my health lowers correctly. But when i hit the 2nd, 3rd, 4th... bullet it doesnt lower. When i check the activation event, it says it only works on bullet.0,

does every bullet created count as a new clone?
If so, how do i get my activation event to activate on every bullet instead of just bullet.0

What send the activation event? Is it the player (on collision), or the bullet (on collision). I dont think clones cary the same activation event line as the master actor. If you have an activation event from the player (on collision with bullet) to the healthbar, that should be fine... not the bullet.

there is no need to use activation events at all,
just use a global variable.

I wouldn't use activation events, or global thingy. i would use my way , i forgot the link so type the words in the search "Easy Way To Make A Health Bar"

The bullet sends the activation event.

I will try all ur ideas now.

kk. i used caaz's way... i didnt know you could do

health.animpos -- ;

Thx for all ur ideas

you can use an actors name before any variable to make that actor do what ever the variable, like this

Code: Select all

Player.animpos++;

and all kinds of stuff

not just ++ and --,
but += whatever number or value.
(-= *= and /= to!)
