Summary

This is the way that I detect the player hitting an enemy and vice versa after APPENDing. For the Newbs!

Full Description

This is the way that I detect the player hitting an enemy and vice versa. This is more handy if you have APPENDed more animation to your objects, therefore, you do not want to register damage when your "Idle" animation touches the enemy. This is a very simple code to make sure the program can determine if the player or enemy is attacking.

rem Now, we know if the player is attacking, because now we have a flag for it.

rem check for defeated monster

rem OK, what we are doing here is to see if the attack flag is on (1)

rem if it is, then we decrease enemy's health by 1.

rem If the character is NOT attacking (attack = 0), then the player

rem loses 1 point of health

if object collision(1,3)

if attack = 1

enemyhealth = enemyhealth - 1

endif

if attack = 0

health = health - 0.1

loop object 1,75,85

endif

loop

rem There you have it! That wasn't hard was it? That simple code is very useful for attacking appended loaded objects!
