Hmm, you should devise a timer, and then check the the timer for a change of 2 or greater seconds (2000ms).

so technically:

Pillarofire thanks for the quick reply. That code creates a pause the first time collision occurs but if the player stays in contact with the secodn object or hits it again the score gets into the negatvies really really fast.

You could simply decrease the decrementing value; Change 15 to like 1 and if thats even too high, then maybe make a float that will be decremented by .001 or something and then decrement the health.

change the 300 to whatever time interval you want.

edit i was missing the first hit. fixed. also, similar to what others posted here but i think this is closer to what you want and a little simpler. your mileage may vary

Thanks so muh i got that promblem solved just one more small promblem.

life=3
health=100
if health=0
life=life-1
position object 1,4,4,0 rem repositions player at beggining of the game.
endif
if life<0
end
endif




ok as soon as the health hits zero then what happens is the game immediately ends. for some reason it takes the lifes away 1 by 1 in less than a second. Any solutions here.

You also need to reset the health so it doesn't keep taking away life.
