health

[burnation]

I need help with this. The grey box's 'health' should only minus 1 'point' off the health when it collides with the red box. But instead, the health went all down.

I need the 'health' to just stop minusing 1 health point and stop.

Use this:

    if (this.hitTest(_root.enemy)) {
        if (hitting<>1) {
            hitting = 1;
            _root.health -= 1;
        }
    } else {
        hitting = 0;
    }

It will only take 1 health. Move away from enemy and hit him again to reduce 1 point again.

<> is same as not equal.
Flash4 habbit of mine, not to worry, it still works
