Hi!

I am trying to make a new destroy script where a dead enemy will blink after the death animation instead of the normal fadeout. Similar to old games where dead enemies blinked when you killed them.

My script is here:

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Blink on death

;Triggers

:state=0:state=1
:state=1,setalphafade=0,coloff:state=2,timerstart
:state=2,timergreater=300,setalphafade=100:state=3
:state=3,timergreater=600,setalphafade=0:state=4
:state=4,timergreater=600,setalphafade=100:state=5
:state=5,timergreater=900,setalphafade=0:state=6
:state=6,timergreater=1200,setalphafade=100:state=7
:state=7,timergreater=1500,setalphafade=0:state=8
:state=8,destroy

;End of Script

I can't make this work at all I am afraid. Can anyone see where the problem lies?

First, I would replace "timerstart/timergreater" with "etimerstart/etimergreater". Second, "coloff/colon" are actions. With regards to your last line, you are missing a colon.

:state=8:destroy

Thanks for the help Blackfox! I didn't know about etimergreater

Enemies disapear now and collision is off. That's a big step forward.

Blinking is still not active and I must be doing something wrong with setalphafade. Enemies appear visible for 1,5 sec. now and then vanish.

setalphafade is an action. just make that adjustment then it will work.
