!!!! Temporary Attribute Help !!!!

Zenith_Gameworks

So in my game, you have to avoid certain falling objects, but once in a while a power up falls that if your actor overlaps/touches it, gives temporary invincibility to that actor. I only want this invincibility to last for say, 10 seconds, and then for the actor to revert back to its original, vulnerable state. I also want this cycle to happen every time the actor overlaps/touches the power up. I made an integer invincibility attribute which says that if the actor touches the powerup, "set invincibility to 1 (original is 0) and tried using a timer, but it doesn't work; the actor becomes invincible permanently after overlap. Any examples of rules and attributes would be greatly appreciated .

Should be pretty easy to do, have you changed it back to 0 after 10 seconds?

If overlap with power up change game.invincible to 1 then a rule if game.invincible is 1 after 10 seconds change game.invincible to 0.

Ok, I just did this, and also said that the actor can only be destroyed if invincibility is equal to 0, but still the problem persists. After the actor becomes "invincible" it becomes so permanently; the objects just bounce of off it countless times and the actor is not destroyed

Could I use interpolate somehow for this?

Make sure "run to completion" is checked on your timer. If that doesn't fix it, post a screenshot of your rules.
