How Can I Make A Building Get More Damaged Ever Time It Gets Hits.

Thanks

TheBoss_123

A series of rules:
If Building hit = 1
Change image: 1

If Building hit = 2
Change image: 2

ect ect

If Building hit <= x
Destroy Actor

Thats how I did it in a box breaking game

I would do it like this.

Make a self attribute on the building actor named damage (integer)

Then set that attribute to say 3, and every time actor collides with the actor that damages the building subtract 1 from damage.

Now a new rule that changes the image based on which damage attribute it's on.

I hope that helps.

Kirk,

check out these videos, i think you've missed some of the game salad fundamentals, which is going to make your life more difficult. I think if you spend an hour or two and watch all of them, you'll be in much better shape.

Create a rule
If collision with actor
change attribute: building health - 1
if building health is 4 : Change image
if building health is 3 : Change image
ect
...but like jon said, tutorials are the best way

Thanks For The Link But I Have Watched Those Video in the past and I'm very good at game salad, I also created many games , but all of my games never really used this style of gaming, I think I mis-worded my last post, I know how to do when an enemy collides with another object, I just dont know how to incorporate that rule with this method stated above.

Thanks

TheBoss_123, Thanks Very Much!

put this on each building, where buildingHitPoints is a self attribute. then based on the hit points, change the image

if actor overlaps or collides with actor bullet (or whatever)
set buildingHitPoints = buildingHitPoints - 1

Create a self attribute for the building actor. Call it Bulding Hitpoints and make it a real attribute and set it to the amount of images you have.
Create a rule:

If Actor recieves event - Collision of overlaps with actor of name - Bullet
Change attribute - Self.BuildingHitpoints to Self.BuildingHitpoints - 1

Create another rule:
If attribute Self.BuildingHitpoints = 5
Change Image Frame 5

Create another rule:
If attribute Self.BuildingHitpoints = 4
Change Image Frame 4

Create another rule:
If attribute Self.BuildingHitpoints = 3
Change Image Frame 3

Create another rule:
If attribute Self.BuildingHitpoints = 2
Change Image Frame 2

Create another rule:
If attribute Self.BuildingHitpoints = 1
Change Image Frame 1

Create another rule:
If attribute Self.BuildingHitpoints <= 0
Destroy this actor.

If you want 10 bullets to hit it before it changes frame instead of doing -1 do -0.1.

And thats the easiest i can put it.
Cheers
