hey guys i have a actor called "car" and i want it so that the 'eggbomb' actor kills the car after 3 eggbombs hit it... how do i do that?

Create a var called eggbombhit.

On the car create actor,

Code: Select all

eggbombhit = 3;

Then on the car, draw actor,

Code: Select all

if(eggbombhit == 0)
{
    DestroyActor("EventActor");
}

On the eggbomb, collision with the car,

Code: Select all

eggbombhit = eggbombhit - 1;

This should work. Try it.

.. I would recommend setting up a variable (actor, not global) called "health".
On the car's create-actor script, put:

health=3;

still on the car, add a collision event (to the egg) and on that collision event script:

health-=1;

and in the car's DRAW actor script:

if (health<=0)
{
DestroyActor("Event Actor");
}

thats it.

for some reason when i do all that and i shoot the car, the eggbombs just go right through it like no script was added what happened?

ill try that dsd

Note for that last post: It's important that the egg actor has a collision event setup to destroy itself when it collides with the car, or else the same egg will reduce the car's health as it continues to collide with the car.
