[darksauce]

hi, i need help with my game and i need help asap. i have a health bar that wen some1 gets hit, it loses 1 health block by fading its alpha to 30. i want it so dat when the last block goes, it plays the next frame, but my code isnt working. plz help! my code:

_root.health1 = 50;
if (this.hitTest(this.target)) {
_root.health1 -= 10;
trace("You hit the target");
this.removeMovieClip();
}

and there are 5 health movieclips, one with <50, <40, <30, <20, and <10 code is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_root.health1<50)
{
this._alpha=30;
}
else{this._alpha=100;
}
}

and the final bit is :

if (_root.health1 == 0 or _root.health1<0) {
nextFrame();
}


plz helps asap!!!

So which part of that code works and which part doesn't?

as far as i can see its allright just try changing the final bit to

if (_root.health1<=0){
nextFrame();
}

I've always had my healthbars as 1 MC then have them scale to the amount of health that the player has left using .xscale

im not if this is what you want but try this


in the frame of your health bar put

ActionScript Code:



_root.health1 = 100;
_root.maxhealth1 = 100;


then put this in the last frame of the enemy "hit" frame or whatever

ActionScript Code:



_root.health1 -= 10;

Come on guys, actually read his question :P

He has 5 blocks, and they fade out one by one when he gets hit. Like hearts in Zelda games but whole hearts instead of half hearts.

I'll make my question more specific.. Is the problem that the blocks aren't fading out at all?

If that's not the case, and they are fading out but it's just not moving to the next frame, are you sure you have "nextFrame()" in the right timeline, and that you don't need a "_root.nextFrame()" instead? Something like this is very hard to answer (if possible at all) without knowing how you have your timelines set up, and which bit of code is on which timeline.

yes, i hav 5 movie clips dat fade as the player gets hit. but as soon as the health reaches 0, and the last health block fades away, it still is not changing to the next frame. the code for the next frame is in the normal timeline. i cant figure out wats wrong. when the health reaches zero, the game continues on as if nothing happend. plz help!

So the code that checks wether or not the health is gone is not in an onEnterFrame? That could be the problem.
