hi there im relatively new to this though i have been through all the tutorials. I have made an actor (jon) destroy another actor (player) on collision. but i would like player to destroy jon if player is punching.

I do not know too much about visual basic code ar anything like it but i came up with this

if ("player") .animindex = ("punch")
then Destroyactor("jon")

please could anyone help?

Your logic is fine. Here's how to do it the GE way.

This function needs to be placed at the point where player collides with jon.

So:

On Player Event Collision (anyside of jon)

if ( player.animindex == 2 ) // punch animation
DestroyActor("Collide Actor"); // destroy jon

jazz

it doesn't seem to work,

jon just destroys player even if he punches, have i typed it in the wrong action?

should i make it a conditional action?

why don't u just creat and actor jon_punching

then when you push the key, destroy jon, create jon_punching, animation fininsh, destroy jon_punching and create jon

then the bad guy will be destroyed when he colides with jon_punnching not jon
