'how can i get he enemies to die after a certain amount of shots?

Make an integer variable, actor variable, named health;

enemy>collision>any side>shot>

Code: Select all

health-=1;
if(health<=0){  //if damage can be more than one, then health can go from 1 to negative numbers,
                       //so we use <= 0 instead of ==0.
DestroyActor("Event Actor");
}

Also, your direction for your shots is changing with player direction; make sure the shots only set their direction on CreateActor, and never again after that.

Through this way, your enemy would die when their HP is 1.

Use this instead...(if you want your enemy die when the HP is 0)

Code: Select all

if(health<=0){  //if damage can be more than one, then health can go from 1 to negative numbers,
                       //so we use <= 0 instead of ==0.
DestroyActor("Event Actor");
}
health-=1;

Ok, ive posted the updated version now anyway.

Would the enemy's initial health be set in the draw actor command?

Edit*
After I d/l Sgt. Sparky's demo (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5397) I figured it out.
