Boss battle help

[pyrothos]

Hi everyone, i've been working on a game lately and i want to make a boss battle, I've got everything either set up or able to be quicly set up. My Problem is, I want to make my boss have multiple lives. How can i achieve this?

It depends exactly on what behaviour you want the boss to have. Is it exactly the same each life, or does it change forms each time you kill it?

All you really need to do is have a value that tracks how many times the boss has died, like this:

Boss's damage >= 1000:
- Set Boss's damage to 0
- Set Boss's deaths to Boss's deaths + 1
//plus explosions, death SFX, screen shake, all that jazz

Boss's deaths >= 3:
- Destroy Boss

Damage and deaths are just renamed alterable values of Boss.

If he changes forms just create the object of the new form each time his damage gets over the threshold, then destroy the old form.
