	{
		if (dbSpriteCollision(1,2) == 1)
		{
			int MaxTime = 1000;
			int time = dbTimer();
			if(time >= MaxTime)
			{
				int HealthX = dbSpriteX(12);
				int HealthY = dbSpriteY(12);
				Health -= 15;
				dbStretchSprite(12,Health,100);
				dbPasteSprite(12,HealthX,HealthY);
				time = 0;
			}
		}if (Health <= 0)
		{
			dbText(300,400,"Game Over!");

put "int time" in a greater scope, could be global, or a member of your class or something, then your code should be like:

+ Code Snippet

int time = 0; //global or something that won't be re-initialized every loop
//...
//.......
//...your code
			int MaxTime = 1000;
			if(time + MaxTime <= dbTimer ())
			{
				int HealthX = dbSpriteX(12);
				int HealthY = dbSpriteY(12);
				Health -= 15;
				dbStretchSprite(12,Health,100);
				dbPasteSprite(12,HealthX,HealthY);
				time = dbTimer();
			}

it says

Quote: "1>c:\users\*\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\fighter\fighter\player.cpp(20) : error C2296: '+' : illegal, left operand has type 'time_t (__cdecl *)(time_t *)'
"

and my code looks like

+ Code Snippet

	int time = 0;

	void PlayerSetup(void)
	{
		if (dbSpriteCollision(1,2) == 1)
		{
			int maxtime = 1000;
			if (time + maxtime <= dbTimer())
			{
				int HealthX = dbSpriteX(12);
				int HealthY = dbSpriteY(12);
				Health -= 15;
				dbStretchSprite(12,Health,100);
				dbPasteSprite(12,HealthX,HealthY);
				time = dbTimer();
			}
		}if (Health <= 0)
		{
			dbText(300,400,"Game Over!");
			dbDeleteSprite(12);
		}
	}

you could use the simplest function to time:

First include time:

+ Code Snippet

#include <time.h>

Then when the collision happens put this:

+ Code Snippet

Enemy_Attacked = time(0); //this is the time enemy "attacked" or more properly colide with the player

Then for the actual attack (to remove HP)

use:

+ Code Snippet


time_t ATTACK_NOW = time(0) - Enemy_Attacked

//then:
if(ATTACK_NOW == ATTACK_DELAY)
{
//enemy can attack
}
//The attack delay is the time in seconds you want the enemy (after the collision) attacks the player.

Hope it works, i never used it like that, but i might.

um not quite sure, try something other than "time", could be used somewhere else or something
EDIT: yeah, the word "time" is already used in this

Thanks that did it code to all the other:

+ Code Snippet

	int HitTime = 0;

	void PlayerSetup(void)
	{
		if (dbSpriteCollision(1,2) == 1)
		{
			int maxtime = 1000;
			if (HitTime + maxtime <= dbTimer())
			{
				int HealthX = dbSpriteX(12);
				int HealthY = dbSpriteY(12);
				Health -= 15;
				dbStretchSprite(12,Health,100);
				dbPasteSprite(12,HealthX,HealthY);
				HitTime = dbTimer();
			}
		}if (Health <= 0)
		{
			dbText(300,400,"Game Over!");
			dbDeleteSprite(12);
