I need help finding a way to take damage like in old school rpg style games. (final fantasy) I figured out how to trigger my health to slowly decrease but i need help making my health take a certain amount of damage instantly and not take anymore until triggered again. as of right now my charactors health ticks away like a timer and doesnt stop until its health reaches 0, or i stop it with another trigger. i ran a search for this problem and didnt find much help.. hoping somebody could give me a hint or a example code.. thanks

Just depends on your implementation. If your trigger for taking damage is, for instance, touching an enemy, then yes, this is to be expected. The trick is to store a state: if you're not touching an enemy, the state is 0. If you touch an enemy, change the state to one. If you touch the enemy, AND the state is at 0, take some damage, THEN, change the state to 1.
