I spend the whole weekend trying to figure out how to make working life variables to the enemies of my game.
Im using Dark Ai, and i do have two teams (not really importment), each teams is made of "multiple ententies/enemies".
Everything is working great exept that when one enemy dies all other enemies in the team dies too. This is caused sence "i" represent all members in the team, but i dont know what to write instead to make just one enemy die (hide object) when it get hit.







object 11 is the bullet

Thank you for such a fast anwer!

That code is working exept enemy entity "dies" and is hidden after just one hit. And sence...

..the zero could bee any object all objects that collide the bullet (object 11) "dies" and is hidden. I think it should be something more like this

to specify the enemy objects (25 & 26) but nothing is changed, still everything that colllide the bullet will get hidden.

The value that gets put into killed it what object 11 hit, you then make some code that say if killed=i(Entity) is hit then dec enehealth for entity i.

Hi again HowDo!

Im still working for a solution and im almost done, i hope. Now i each enemy object can get killed and they will die if enehealth = 0 (enemies healthbar). But only one enemie can die, cause there seems to be only one healthbar!




Do you know a way to make one healthbar per each enemy? Cause now when first enemy is dead the otherone wont die.
