i would like the 3 hits and destory the shield

Create a variable hits (actor, integer)
On collision event of shield actor, put:

Code: Select all

hits++;
if(hits >= 3)
{
   DestroyActor("Event Actor");
}

make the shield last for 5 seconds the get destroyed

What?

1) On Create Actor event of the shield, create a 5s timer
2) On Timer event of the shield, put:

Code: Select all

DestroyActor("Event Actor");
