help with scripting

[Kooldudese]

i need help,,, scripting... i need to know how to make a game so that when you press an animation to attack... it wont continuously attack... (the attack animation is on the actor...) and i need to know how to make it so that... when im attacking... and i colide with the enemy... he gets damaged, but when im not attacking he doesent get damaged. (this is different from the cases where you shoot something because the attack, is an animation on the player...ex.when a persons punching.) please help,

You could also (if u dont want to script) make another actor (sword/fist) that will hurt the enemy on collision, and when u press the attack key it creates actor sword/fist on the right position of the character. This takes a while but it doesn't require scripting, though i recommend using scripts for this.
