Need help with attacking please

in Working with GS (Mac)
I can't seem to find anything on how to attack with a weapon. I want to basically have an actor with a weapon and attack an enemy, how do I do this? Is there any thing about this that I can't see in another thread, videos or templates?

Thanks

    I don't know who you think you are! I see nothing but questions and wanting demos from you. GameSalad is not for collecting everybit of free stuff you can. Why not give back something in return for once. Oh wait you have done that already with your great logos :P

    Serious note, depending on how your going to tackle this approach either by animations or by movement of your weapon. Or spawn if it's a gun.

    However if you could explain a bit more it would help :)

    lol, yeah I don't know what would be better,
    A) Design the actor with a sword and do the animate behaviour.
    B) Design the actor and design the sword separately and attach/constrain it to the actor.

    Then need to know how to attack an enemy with just the sword bit.

    Lol! @VeiraGames My hope is that everyone who received a free logo finds a way to help you out with coding/logic support.

    You'll definitely be much happier if you change the image and/or animate the image rather than constraining a weapon to the main actor.

    You're also only then dealing with one actor the whole time no matter how many weapons you decide to have. Each weapon can have a tableCell or game attribute (e.g. game.hasSword=true).

    Will have to go back and redo certain stuff like changing the actor sizes so that a weapon can fit the image. Only problem is that need to make sure the art won't get blured on the creator (why the *#%$ did I choose to do pixel art?!) It's all good, happy days! Thanks

    I think if it's simple movement like in Fastar (http://toucharcade.com/2010/07/29/fastar-review-who-knew-fighting-angry-squares-would-be-so-much-fun), you could get away with constraining a weapon.

    I'd recommend constrain and rotate if your dealing with pixels, It just eases the whole situation!
