Attacking enemys

[system]

Hi I'm looking for a basic player attack script that works like oblivion's combat system I've tried burgzergarcade but I'm not trying to do the targeting thing I want to be able to walk up to a random enemy and attack them and they loose health.

heres my PlayerAttack script:

var target : GameObject;
var attackTimer : float;
var coolDown : float;
var damage : float = 10;

// Use this for initialization
function Start () {
    attackTimer = 0;
    coolDown = 1.0f;

}

// Update is called once per frame
function Update () {
    if(attackTimer > 0)
        attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

    if (attackTimer < 0)
        attackTimer = 0;
    if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.F)) {
        if(attackTimer == 0){
            Attack();
            attackTimer = coolDown;
        }
    }
}
function Attack() {
    var distance = Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position);

    var direction = Vector3.Dot((target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized, transform.forward);

    Debug.Log(direction);

    if(distance < 3) {
        if(direction > 0) {
            target.GetComponent(EnemyHealth).AddjustCurrentHealth(-damage);
        }
    }
}

how can I get target to be the enemy infront of me and change when I go to another enemy?

and heres my EnemyHealth script:

var curHealth : float = 20;
var maxHealth : float = 20;

function Update () {
    AddjustCurrentHealth(0);

}

function AddjustCurrentHealth(adj) {
    curHealth += adj;

    if(curHealth < 0)
        curHealth = 0;

    if (curHealth > maxHealth)
        curHealth = maxHealth;

    if(maxHealth < 1)
        maxHealth = 1;

    if(curHealth < 1) { //die
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

Thanks

Haven't played Oblivion so I can't tell you how to do that, specifically. But I can give you a nice easy way to do damage in general :)

A fairly simple way to do it without going overboard is the SendMessage and BroadcastMessage functions. What they do is tell another GameObject to try to run the function you name, on every MonoBehaviour that's attached to it. The only difference with Send and Broadcast is that Broadcast also takes the "message" to all the children of the object.

So for example you decide in advance that every character has a TakeDamage function that takes 1 parameter - the damage number as a float. So, if your target is a GameObject, you'd say something like `target.SendMessage("TakeDamage", 5.0);` with 5.0 being how much damage to apply. Look up the documentation for these functions because there's an optional third parameter that can be handy if you're not 100% positive your target even has the TakeDamage function.

But it doesn’t have to be a float, it can be anything:

enum DamageType
{
Piercing,
Blunt,
Slashing,
Magic
}

struct Damage
{
var damage: float;
var type: DamageType;
var armorPenetration: float;
}

.
.
.
var dmg: Damage;
target.SendMessage("TakeDamage", dmg);

Your TakeDamage function just needs to accept a parameter of type Damage in this case, and it's up to do what you need based on that information.

What TheDemiurge said is correct. Also, look here for a key combo script, which may be what your looking for.
