I usually make Value A the amount of damage the sword does, and value B the hit percentage. Make sure you put in a "only once when event loops" in there, or your enemies will die much to quickly. Also, make sure that the enemies only take a hit when the swinging animation is playing. Here's a really old version of my Zelda like game that you can look at. www.angelfire.com/anime5/shabadage/advent.zip It's not very well commented though Craps, I'm an old man!

Then you can program it so when an enemy collides with the invisble object. Instead of letting you hit them with the side/back of the sword. - This also removes the laggyness from always setting the sword to the player. -Andy Creator of Faerie Solitaire: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7792 Also creator of ZDay20 and Dungeon Dash. http://www.Jigxor.com http://twitter.com/JigxorAndy

It's a blast to the past, the age was marked as 14 when I found it. If you know where to look, you can track me. Au revoir.

Xhunterko Registered 07/05/2003 Points 1015	5th November, 2003 at 14:48:16 - OR, you could just have the game read a single animation frame from the player. On animation 'sword swing' and frame 3 is playing then do damage.

Mr Coffee Registered 04/09/2003 Points 440	5th November, 2003 at 15:09:07 - No, thats the lazy way to do it. If an enemy touched your back while you were swinging the sword, he would get hurt. Thats pretty lame if you ask me. 99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.
Knudde (Shab) Administrator Crazy? Registered 31/01/2003 Points 5125	7th November, 2003 at 15:29:54 - Absolutely correct. Craps, I'm an old man!
Mr Coffee Registered 04/09/2003 Points 440	7th November, 2003 at 17:01:11 - You could but that would be pointless. It is much easier to do the 3 object method, and you get the same effect. Also, it allows you to use the invisible object as a "hit area". So if an enemy only touches your hat, it won't hurt you. 99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.

Kris Possibly Insane Registered 17/05/2002 Points 2017	14th November, 2003 at 10:29:20 - i think the old fastloop was capable of doing that, i used it a few times with TGF to remove the "lag".

Daniel[Crazy_Productions] Possibly Insane Registered 29/12/2002 Points 2505	15th November, 2003 at 05:37:16 - using a separate object for the sword is the best solution here. Beware of life ...so far noone have survived it.......
