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

[DST]

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.

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");
}

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.
