How can i make an enemy object to get killed when it gets hit by a bullet object TWICE In action events not scripts.

Please help

Thanks

I'd recommend using code.

With code:
create event of obj_enemy:

hp=2

collision event of obj_enemy with a bullet or whatever it is:

hp-=1
if hp<1 instance_destroy()

Without code:
in create event of obj_enemy:
[fill in: hp=2]

collision event of obj_enemy:
[fill in: hp-=1, relative]
then do [fill in hp] (if smaller than) 1 and

declare a variable for the enemy to have his own health "my_health" and set it to 2. Then in the collision event with the bullet have each bullet take down only one of the health points.

Ok, this is fairly simple:

In your Create Event:
- Execute code

life = 2

In your collision event with whatever object:

life -= 1;
with other
{
instance_destroy()
}

And in step event:

if life = 0
{
instance_destroy();
}

That should work, if it does, the bottom left of this post there should be a little green button... you can press it.

Do what they said.
If you don't know how to do this you are really bad in it.
Learn proper GML before even considering about starting any game.

Okay naseem
I remember that I didn't knew what a variable was...
That were some stupid old times...
And I remember the happiness when I discovered how to use alarms...
That was a good moment...

[cantavanda]

Try this:
Create of enemy:

enemyonelife = 2

Step of enemy:

visible = 1
if (enemyonelife = 0) 
{
instance_destroy()
}

Collision with bullet event of enemy:

enemyonelife -=1
visible=0
instance_destroy(other)

Just use my code, it's dead simple, it's fast and it'll work. Copy and paste work lad, copy and paste work.

[cantavanda]

But my code has a special effect that the enemy dissepears 1 millisecond after being hit
It makes it more realistic (lol)

That was probably due to your point of destruction for the bullet. I assume you let the bullet pass through the enemy. If so it was still making contact and therefore still deducting health points from the enemy object. I made that same mistake when I started building games. To remedy that you can either set the bullet to be destroyed the moment it touches the enemy or if you wish to have the bullet pass through you would need to set up a new variable for the enemy so that it knows it is hurt and give him a short window of invincibility after being hit.
