how do i make the caveman in the tutorial punch.not with his fist coming out but how to i make it where if i'm next to an enemy and press a button it will hurt the enemy.like he's punching?

Hi Pavel,

If I understand your question correctly, you would first need to create your 'punch' animation in a drawing program so that when you left click the mouse the 'punch' animation could be called.

After you have created your animation/s, it would be simple to use GE's "on mouse down" event with an action to "change animation". Then you would select the animation that you created.

HTHs...

thank you for replying but really wat i am trying to do is make mario(he has a sword)hurt the enemy.only the sword not him.wat i mean is i don't want the whole actor to destroy the enemy just that one animation.is that possible?becuz when you use destroy actor by collision it always makes all of your animatios hurt the enemy.not just one.

What you need to do is make of the sword a separate actor. And ad the necessary animations. So you can destroy the sword.

why would i want to destroy my weapon?

Sory, I misunderstood you. I tought you want the ennemys weapon be broken.

I don't know if a collision-event can happen to only a particular animation within an actor. (would be a good feature)

You probaly will have to solve the problem by replacing the acator my a "killer-mario" and then replace him again. But maybe some kind of script can help. (not my speciality)

so wat your saying is make the sword a different actor and make mario the swords parent?

Yes. (If I am real sure that I understood you well.) It would be a good idea maybe to post some graphics and explain what exactly they are supposed to do.

oh ok.i know wat to do now.thanx.
