ummmm... How would i be able to create a horde of zombies without having them all be damaged when one of them takes a hit?

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Track individual hit points for each zombie in an array.

clone object. You will have to make an array of a type:
type ZOMBIETYPE
HP as integer
Mesh
x as float
y as float
z as float
.... blah, blah, blah....
endtype

dim Zombie(100) as ZOMBIETYPE

load your first zombie mesh:
ZombieMeshStart as integer
ZombieMeshStart=1
Zombie(0).Mesh=ZombieMeshStart
load object "Zombie.x",Zombie(0).Mesh
make the other zombies:
for i=1 to 100
Zombie(i).Mesh=ZombieMeshStart+i
clone object Zombie(i).Mesh,Zombie(0).Mesh
next i

I may have the clone object "object to clone to","object to be cloned" part backwards, so check the help.

The fastest code is the code never written.

I had the same problem until I discovered arrays and the FOR-NEXT loop. Now life is much simpler.
