Health

make sure you are using one animation with a frame for each health state.

im using 1 actor with those 4 pictures, posted earlier, on him

[DilloDude]

Are they set up as one animation or as four separate animations? If they are separate, you can use animindex instead.

Code: Select all

animindex ++;
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", getAnimName(animindex), FORWARD);
if (animindex >= 4)
{
    DestroyActor("Event Actor")// or whatever script you want
}

wats that destroy actor part for if its for the player i change it to his death animation which is set to destroy when it finishes

is that for the player though ,destroy actor part,

[DilloDude]

Yes, the DestroyActor is to destroy the player. So, you'd want it to be

Code: Select all

DestroyActor("Player");

or, for an animation:

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimation("Player", "Die", FORWARD);

If you are changing the player's animation make sure to disable any other events (except for animation finish). Otherwise, you may be able to do something like a keydown which changes the animation, and stops you from dying (I did that in a very early game experiment, when I was first learning GE).

i put it in but it changes the player's animation each collision so im looking a different direction

[DilloDude]

it might be easier to use a health variable. the player changes the health variable when a collision occurs, and the health displays it. For 4 different animations, put

Code: Select all

if (animindex != health)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", getAnimName(health), FORWARD);
}


in the health bar's draw actor. Check for death in the player actor.
