I guess that's DarkAI or something i'm not familiar with, but it might be there's no problem in that snippet. Could you check how your enemy's attack returns to zero ? Also that attack seems to be either a local or global variable that's not "sticked" into the enemy's info so should there be a structure for that(tho it's not your main problem if checking against 1 single enemy to test things out).

If the attack resets to 0 lets say all the time at the end of the loop you'r gonna fill that if statement everytime, but the DarkAI content I don't know:S

hmmmh.. that didn't compile

Try changing your last code to this:


EDIT: or rather this to allow for any king of attack (strafing/moving etc)...

Is the variable 'attack' a global variable and is this code located within a function? If it is in a function and you did not declare it as a global, then the computer will not recognize it's value and will consider it as equaling zero. Thus, the call would be made to decrement the health and loop the animation.

So whether or not the variable "attack" is global should make no difference... but then my code would make no difference either.

I wonder if you are decreasing health elsewhere in your code?

Try taking that line out and see what happens?

Of course we are psychic debugging again here so maybe you could post more code?

I would suggest you constantly display what the value of
AI Get Entity Action$ (e1)

equals.

Perhaps it is set to "Stopped And Attacking" and you don't know it.
