In this pastebin I have the focal part of my code, basically i'm trying to achieve a Pokémon style type system with weaknesses, immunities and resistances my main problem is passing the elementType variable from the player or enemy that got hit and at the same time pass the damageAmount and damageType variable from what is hitting it so it can calculate the damage, the decrease_health function is from a cococode tutorial I followed to make a simple enemy but now that I need to make this i need to rework it, but first I would like to know if I can pass the three variables like I need to or if I have to make more functions. <@&1349109171240439858>

i say you pass the three variables

and you can use metadata

to share data between scripts

or to store info

or even better, create a DamageInfo class

to share data

but i still recommend using metadata because custom classes are a lil bit advanced

I made a custom class but yes I'll go with Metadata thanks for the help

Wait, but if I use metadata how do I use the dictionary in the code?

[tawny rover]

turn it into JSON

if it's a dict

and then parse it in the other scripts

Okay but how do I make it so it changes based on the enemy? Can I set the metadata different for every enemy? Sorry if I'm asking a lot but it's my first game

Yep, you can set any amount of metadata you want, and I enjoy helping people, so you're actually doing me a favor!
