Hello, I am very new to programming and have recently enrolled in a game design course. I am attempting to place a health system, just a simple GUI text to my game, so that when the player is attacked by Zombies, he will lose health.
It’s a simple point and click game, and I have the GUI text show up, but the player does not lose lose health when attacked by the zombies.
As I said, I am very, very new to programming and most of my material I have learnt from tutorials online as we are on school holidays. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
My Code is attached. Thanks in advance.
#pragma strict
var health : int = 100;
var damage : int 10;
var Enemy : GameObject;
var gos : GameObject[];
gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");
function Update ()
{
if(health < 0)
{
Die();
}
}
function OnGUI ()
{
GUI.Box(Rect(10,Screen.height - 150, 200, 145), "");
GUI.Label(Rect(20,Screen.height - 140, 180, 125), health + " / " + "100");
}
function OnTriggerEnter ( hit : Collider )
{
Debug.Log("trigger");
if(hit.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
{
Enemy = hit.gameObject;
TakeDamage();
}
if(hit.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
{
Enemy = hit.gameObject;
TakeDamage();
}
}
function TakeDamage()
{
}
function Die()
{
Debug.Log("I'm dead");
Network.Destroy(gameObject);
}
Well if damage intervals are in units of 10 you probably want “if(health<0)” to be <1. But this has nothing to do with the fact that nothing is happening.
With this logic, I am assuming that when you get close to the other object you want to take damage. Meaning you need something in TakeDamage() to decrement your health like
health = health - damage;
But maybe I don’t understand what your trying to accomplish.
did you forget to substract the damage?
function TakeDamage()
{
health-= damage;
}
Hi louiedoggs!
Your TakeDamage function is empty.
Should be something like:
function TakeDamage()
{
health -= damage;
}
Also, the function gets called twice from your OnTriggerEnter.
