will "call attribue" solve this?

basically i want my bullet to cause a "screenshake" effect when it hits another actor.
because i can't use prototypes to control the camera i made a attribute called "shake" and an invisible unlocked actor in the scene (remember this).

then i have on the bullet:

*********************************
when bullet collides with enemies
change attribute "shake" to 1
*********************************

then in that unlocked invisible actor on scene i have these behaviors in it:

*********************************
when attribute "shake" is 1
[
TIMER for 0.5 seconds
-(inside timer) every 0.1 second "camera.origin x-10... (etc etc u get it. the shake effect)
]
After 0.5 seconds
change attribute "shake" to 0
*********************************

ok, so when i shoot to enemies it DOES shake for a few shots. but then it stops working . the shake effect can no longer be reproduced. usually after a few shots. its weird huh? am i doing something wrong?

    A good way to debug this is move your actor into scene and put a display text and assign it to display your shake attribute. then you can see if its reseting itself etc. It looks like your rule should work so theres prob just an attribute not setting back the way it should and it the shake attribute is working right you know you can start look at other issues that affect the same rule

    funny thing is i have been doing the "display text" thing for my other stuff like bullet amount and reloads. i guess it wouldnt hurt. i'ma try it out BRB!

    well it stays in "1" it SHOULD be changing back to "0". hmm....

    damn i don't get it... it stays on "0" even after the collision. this is so weird.

    hmm... i think i fixed it.

    i added the collisions behavior to the enemies instead of the bullet since the bullet destroys on collisions....prolly throwing off the whole formula

    Yes destroying the actor before an "after" timer triggers I believe will mess it up. When you do stuff like that I think you actually use two timers

    For .5 sec
    --After .5 sec
    ---Change Attribute to 0

    etc.
