When player hit - becomes invincible for a second?

[d-soldier]

I've been trying to figure out (from the 1942 demo) how to go about making my player invincible (and flashing transparent) for a moment after he's hit by an enemy... but with no luck... Anyone want to take the time to help me with this?

make a variable called hit.
and a variable called wait
when he is hurt,

Code: Select all

if(hit == 0)
{
 hit = 1;
 do_damage calculation;
}
wait = 30;
//or whatever you want it to be,
//if you're game runs at 30 fps set wait to the fps rate(30) for a 1
//1 second wait time


on draw actor event:

Code: Select all

if(hit == 1)transp = .5;
if(hit == 0)transp = 0;
wait -= 1;
if(wait <= 0)hit = 0;


that should work
if you have any problems let me know.
