Enemy HP

[FlinkGigitty]

This shouldn't be too hard, but I want a simple solution I want my enemies to have X amount of HP (whatever number I want, and easy to change for harder enemies), and I want my bullet objects to hurt for as much HP as I want aswell.. Basically I dont know how to add "hit points" to enemies, and how to withdraw them when they get hit by the player bullets Got any simple ideas?

If any examples are uploaded already, a link would be very much appreciated

You can do this with an object's alterable values.

Go to the Properties editor for the enemy object, click the "Values" tab (A-Z) and click "New" to name a new alterable value ("Damage" or "HP") - you can also give it a starting value. You can then change it and check it from within the event editor - subtract from it when a bullet hits the enemy, and then use the "Destroy" action when their HP is equal to or less than 0.

Dang! Didn't make it in time, I would have given you the same advice, DavinN knows what he's going on about, he rocks at MMF2.

Ah yea I get it.. How would that look in the event editor?

You could make a counter and set it up to bar format, personalize it and such, set is to always be at (blank) position from them, and set it at what you want. Then you subtract from counter as they get hit, and when it equals 0 you destroy them. That way you have hp and the player can see it.

I made a simple HP system for RPGs a while back using counters to show what was happening in a simple way, might help maybe -
