I'm trying to figure out how to make enemies in a game, but I'm having trouble getting them to be more advanced than doing x amount of damage each hit and getting killed after you attack them once. I almost got it to work (I think), but the coding got really complicated and messy. I used "For t=x to y" to make them, but I'm not sure if it would work with all of them having separate life variables or if it would make them all die when one dies. Do I have to make each one individualy, or is their a different way?

Are you talking about controlling multiple enemies at once?

Easy stuff. Instead of saying "enemy_life=1" you can set up an array:



You can then control multiple enemies in a for-to loop. You just have to change every variable the enemy uses into an array.

Great! Thanks TheComet. That was exactly what I needed to know. Now I can finally make more than one enemy in a place.
