I'm very new to godot and im trying to follow a tutorial as practice. I got moving and a gun working, but the enemy wont die when i shoot it. I have it set to activate the kill function when the raycast collides with the enemy but its not dying. ideas?
first image is from the player script and second is the enemy script

#

is there an if statement line of code somewhere in your enemy script that triggers if dead== true?

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 4:37 PM

#

this?

#

Will I add dead == true?

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

no, that should work.

#

what exactly do you want to happen once the enemy dies? and what actually happens when you run it right now?

#

play the death animation, remove collision

#

right now it just keeps running in place

#

oh yeah and play the death sound

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

okay, im assuming "pwned" is your death animation and that it doesnt loop?

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

ha yeah

#

any ideas on why this could be happening?

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

okay, try adding an await animated_sprite_3d.animation_finished() before writing the dead = true at the very end of the kill function

#

still not working! uhg

#

what happens in run with these changes?

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

nothing changes at all its still just idling

#

i dont think the kill function is activating at all cause not even the sound is playing

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

hmm, to test, write a print("TEST") at the very top of the kill function then try

#

just to see if the function is actually getting called

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

would test come up on screen if its working? cause nothing showed up

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

"TEST" should show up in the output in the godot editor

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

Nope, nothing :(

#

vocal mist I'm very new to godot and im trying to follow a tutorial as practice. I got movi...

try replacing the last line of code here with ray_cast_3d.get_collider().call("kill")

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

STILL not working

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

but does it print the "TEST" now?

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

No it doesnt

#

I downloaded the tutorials scripts and copied them in exactly and it still doesnt work

#

the enemy doesnt even mov

#

move*

#

so i think its something thats wrong with how i made the enemy

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

what version of godot was the tutorial for? though unlikely, maybe there's a mismatch

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

4.1, but i figured it out but not really

#

I just remade the enemy from scratch and it worked fine

#

i still have no idea what i did wrong

calm horizon Jan 23, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

oh? lol what was different

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

thanks for the help though i appreciate it

vocal mist Jan 23, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

#

i probably hit something stupid by accident
