Maybe it's an error with my computer but it doesn't seem to work for me....

Healthbar doesn't move.
Bullets don't hit enemy.
Enemy can't hit player.
Player can walk through enemy.

...maybe the collision isn't working?

@VP

the health bar only decreases from one enemy which can't be killed. the first one you meet, I believe. the rest can be killed but do no damage to you.

Ah OK, cool. Thanks.

I'll download it again. I probably just killed the first enemy by instinct before he had chance to attack. lol.

I can write the health to a 2d Overlay

but

I can not access it via a script in a Scripting window or
in action/behavior



var player = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("clerk");
print("player="+player);

var myHealth = ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(pl;ayer, "@$%&player.health*&^%$@"):
print("myHealth="+myHealth);

error = : illegal charcter
or
error : reference error
or
object unknown

i think i tried every possible $ $ combination
any suggestions are welcome

@douwedabbe you are using a variable name as a property.

Don't use ccbGetSceneNodeProperty for the health variable.
Instead you need to use.

ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("hashtagclerk.health")

Also while accessing properties you did a typo in "player"
And wrote it "pl;ayer" and you are using so many symbols with the variable name thats why you are getting illegal character errors. However if you didn't had performed typo and used symbols it still would have throw you an error cause you were using variable as a property and it will throw an errror property doesn't exist.

To fix them simply replace your line with this

var myHealth = ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("hashtagclerk.health"):

Replace "hashtag" with hash symbol
And it should work fine.

thanks

overlooked that

then corrected it for getting value out
but not when assigning creating another creazy bug

always take code back into proper editor with syntax highlighting

How do I access thru some interchangable variable the health of a bunch of players?

"=||=someplayer.health"


fragment in for loop
...
var playerNode = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName(this.name);
var playerName = ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(playerNode, "Name");
var playerHealth = ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("=||="+playerName.toString()+".health"): 
<-- error ccbGetCopperCubeVariable not js function
var playerHealth = ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("=||="+playerNode.toString()+".health"): 
<-- error same message
...

String.fromCharCode(35) you can replace with =||= if you want but not needed.

//this will be the name of variable.
var a = String.fromCharCode(35) + ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(this.node,"Name") + ".health";
//this will be the value of variable.
var b=ccbGetCopperCubeVariable(a);

make sure to print it .. so you see if name is correct and does value responds to it.
print( "Name " +a +" value " +b);

to scan a punch of nodes you can use numbers in names and use it like this..
i used to use AI1 AI2..and so on
And in for loop i just included name "AI"+i

OR scan folder..

var max = ccbGetSceneNodeChildCount(ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("FolderName"));
for (var i = 0; i < max; i++)
{
var t = ccbGetChildSceneNode(ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("FolderName"),i);
var current_name=ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(t,"Name");
}

((nodes must be in FolderName folder and will be scanned))
(i didnt test this script so may include errors but should give idea of it)

You have : instead of ; at the end of line.

ar playerHealth = ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("=||="+playerName.toString()+".health"):
<-- error ccbGetCopperCubeVariable not js function
var playerHealth = ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("=||="+playerNode.toString()+".health"):
<-- error same message
