bullet kills all actors at once why?

guilleface

i copy 20 enemies of the same on the scene, on bullet i have a rule, when collide with enemy change attribute game.killenemy to game.killenemy+1
so in the enemy i have a rule, when attribute game.killenemy=3, destroy this enemy but if i hit one emeny, then another, on the third hit all of the enemy are destroyed, what i want is to destroy one enemy when is hit 3x

Are you using a global game attirbute game.killenemy to destroy your actors?

If you want the enemies to be destroyed after 3 hits, you need to create self.attributes to track how many times they are hit.

So in the enemy actor, create a self.attribute, and call it "health", and make it 3 (integer) put a rule that says, when overlaps or collides with bullet, change self.health to self.health -1

Then put a rule, when self.health < or = to 0, destroy this actor

Then if you want to track how many enemies are killed, create a global game attribute (integer) called "EnemiesDestroyed"

Make a rule in each enemy that says when they're destroyed, to change game.enemiesdestroyed to game.enemiesdestroyed to +1 that way you can track how many enemies were destroyed, and keep a scoring system, you can change the +1 to any number, like +10, or +100, whatever you like to create a scoring system

Hope this makes sense

yes i was using game.attribute i never thought about self attribute thank thank you very much is working great, just one more thing if is not to much to ask, i open the allien conquerors template, but i cant figure out how the allien do the left and right move, i think somethig is missing on the otherwise,all i see is is "move" direction 0 , iam working on a similar game and thats the basic and most important move, if i cant do it i cant keep going on my game and thank you again

On the alien template, look at the Right and Left Wall actors, and that will explain how it triggers the aliens to move back and forth The wall actors are controlling the move direction, which control when the aliens move.

Let me know if you need any more help!

i checked too but all i understand was only for changing the attribute which i was right, but i find what i was missing, in the otherwise rule, i thought in move 0 direction means to move to the right, which i thought i was missing the rule for left , but now i can see that speed is the one changing the direction as when movedirection = -1 that makes speed to -90 so it moves left, wow that was so tricky guys but fun , thanks a lot butterbean i really i appreciate your help

Yeah it is a bit tricky, but once you look at it, it makes sense, good luck!
