variable changing

[Zirclesoft]

yes, as easy as it looks, im having prblems!

you see, i put in a frame that covers the entire battle
scene the general variable( HP = 100

then on a certain frame(like frame 3)
it reduces the HP amount by 5( HP-=5

then, on the same general frame, the one with HP = 100
i put in an if script that detects if HP<=0;
then it goes to frame 5(you lose)

but i doesnt work! soes it work only on MCs or did i miss
a lot?

You'll have to check "if (HP<=0);" every frame. Right now it checks it one time, (unless the frame with the condition is played several times) when you've just set HP to 100.

Instead either use a frame loop, or put the condition into an onEnterFrame, e.g.

code:

---

_root.onEnterFrame=function(){

if(HP<=0){

_root.gotoAndStop(5)

}

}

hmmm you see,

i put the HP=100 on my first frame, and so is the HP<=0

now when i attack, it goes to frame 3 and reduces HP by 5

after that attck, it goes back again to my first frame

so, maybe its just my scripting?

Wouldn't that put your HP back at 100 since you set it to 100 on the same frame as your condition. So your HP would go; 100 then 95 then 100 again, then 95 etc...

yeah, i just found out about that,

but if i seperate it, the frame will go automatically
to frame 5!

how do you seperate it safely?

I made this example:
