Area detection for health system

[willow kindle]

i set the progressbar to 100, so if it were to go 99 that means it detected it's own collision

if anyone could help that'd be great

Give the enemies a class name

If body == Enemy:
health -= 1

[willow kindle]

would I place that into the signal function? I haven't used godot for a long time

[sonic pelican]

You put on the enemy script
class_name Enemy at the top
And that if check in to the signal

[willow kindle]

so in my enemy script i'd put

class_name Enemy

and then in the signal I'd put in
If body == Enemy:
health -= 1
?

[sonic pelican]

Yes

[willow kindle]

thx man!

[willow kindle]

ok so the area won't detect the enemy

they're touching so the health bar should appear

[sonic pelican]

what root node is the enemy

[willow kindle]

a characterbody

[sonic pelican]

then you want _on_body_entered(body) signal not area2d shape

[willow kindle]

they're connected to this body entered thing, why is it named on_area?

[sonic pelican]

the area node is called area_2d

[willow kindle]

ohhh wait im dumb

[willow kindle]

i did connect them so it should work

[tropic coral]

did it work?
