lower health on collision

Ok I am making a zombie game i have got the enemy AI made but i need to know how to make my person lose health as he gets hit with an animation (zombies arms swinging). Can anyone help?

 

Create a trigger volume ( a collider with isTrigger checked ) and attach it to your zombie where the damage zone should be. Make sure it's got a Rigidbody component so it handles physics properly while moving.

Attach this script to that trigger volume:

Code (csharp):

1. var damageDone : int;
2.  
3. function OnTriggerEnter( other : Collider ) {
4.   if ( other.GetComponent( Player ) ) {
5.     other.GetComponent( Player ).health -= damageDone;
6.   }
7. }

You'll have to replace Player with whatever it is on your player object that handles health, and obviously have a var health in that script somewhere.

Your Zombie can then keep track of its trigger volume and activate/deactivate it based on whether it wants to deal damage or no.

 

thank you very much

 

Here is a link to a little melee system that will give you some good ideas

Was wondering what you will do when you get good at scripting(change your name lol)

 

I don't know whats happening i am useing this script to control health but nothing is happening i filled in everything i think.

#pragma strict
#pragma implicit
#pragma downcast

class DestroyOnHit extends MonoBehaviour
{
public var hitsToDestroy : int = 1;
public var destructionParticles : GameObject;
public var destroyOnExplosion : boolean = true;
public var destroyParent : boolean = true;

function Start()
{
gameObject.layer = 11;
}

function Destruct()
{
if(destroyOnExplosion)
{
DestroyObject();
}
}

function Hit(hit : RaycastHit)
{
hitsToDestroy--;

if(hitsToDestroy <= 0)
{
DestroyObject();
}
}

function DestroyObject()
{
if(destructionParticles != null)
{
GameObject.Instantiate(destructionParticles, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
}

if(destroyParent)
{
if(transform.parent != null)
{
Destroy(transform.parent.gameObject);
}
else
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
else
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}

 

lol i dont know if i ever will become good at it. I am good with javascript for website and stuff like that but this 3d stuff is hard
