VARIABLES AND DISPLAY
- CHARACTERIZATION -

   We'll start out wit a project similar to last time. Download this: Lizard Alien 3 . We want our characters to have health.

NOTE: EVERYTHING IS CASE SENSITIVE

NOTE: Models are used in the tutorial for the purpose of teaching, these models are not allowed to be used elsewhere without consent.

Now add the member variable:

All member variables must be delcared in the Entity: Variables event.

Now DO THE EXACT SAME THING for the Enemy_Lizard entity, because I don't want to show it all over again.

Now go to "Scene01" and add the "Create" event.



Now add another label:

Now it's time to displat this stuff.

Go to AlienLizard, and add "Set Label Text"

The new text should be
"Health: "+health.tostring()
Including the quotes

The new text should be:
"Enemy Health: "+health.tostring()

If you run it it will display the health in the upper left corner.

Now let's make the main character lose health when he's hit, go to "Enemy_Punch" sequence:

The name is:
Alien_Lizard.instance_of().health
This will set the main character's health backwards.

Now go to "Punch" sequnece:

And add these brackets so they close the statement.


Now add this action: "Set Var Rel"

MAKE SURE YOU MOVE IT UP:

Now let's kill the characters.

Go to the "Alien_Lizard" entity and add this to the step event:

IF the health is < than 0 then we should restart the game:

Now go the "Enemy Lizard" entity

IF that is true than destroy it.

That's if for now!
