SOURCE FILE AND HD VIDEO WILL BE AT...
http://adobeflashtutorials.tk/

In this tutorial I will be showing you how to make it so that you are attacked by your enemy every 3 seconds.

--------ACTIONSCRIPT--------

On the enemy
++++++++++++++++
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.score = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.toon.toonattack.toonrange)) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.score += 1;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.toon._x, _root.toon._y, true)) {
this.gotoAndStop(8)
}
}
++++++++++++++++

On the 8th frame of the enemy
++++++++++++++++
myTimer
function wait(){
_root.hpvar -=1
}
myTimer = setInterval (wait, 3000)
++++++++++++++++

I realise this video is a few years old.

First off, great tutorials.

With the enemy dealing damage to the player every 3 seconds:

The current version of flash is CS5 Professional. I usually use Action Script 3.0 for making my games, and I've found it's easier to use timers from code snippets.

Notice: Do not put a lot of operations into a single timer, or it creates massive lag on your game. It is also not a good idea to make 1 timer 'tick' last 1 millisecond.

@DragonReignLLC yeah, i did that.

i think you should put unloadMovie(this); in the enemy so you wont lose hp when you go to the same spot where the enemy was after it dies.

You should make an enemy following the character tutorial......

If you touch it once, then move away, it'll continue to sap 1 hp every 3 seconds.

[Orbitdeathrants]

also is there a way to ad a "damaged" state?

^^; sorry for the questions

[Orbitdeathrants]

how do you add a win /lose scene

I've tried many ways , this one worked for a few games I pieced together but not here:

if(_root.ehealth < 0){ //It equals 0 _root.ehealth = 0; onEnterFrame = function(){

_root.ehealth==0?gotoAndStop(2­):0}

}

else if(_root.health < 0){ //It equals 0 _root.health = 0; onEnterFrame = function(){

_root.health==0?gotoAndStop(3)­:0}

}

}

maybe it was sth eplace i put it. took me days to figure this set of statements

its the range of how close you can be to the enemy to attack them with it.
