oh

[stiff sage]

current code

enemy code

since enemy is a monobehavior script

shouldnt this work?

[raven glacier]

enemy is the file name, not the class name

[stiff sage]

ohhh

how would i amend that

[raven glacier]

just change it

[stiff sage]

change the .GetComponent to EnemyScript?

oh that worked

okay.

thanks lmao

[raven glacier]

yeah, or change your class name to "Enemy"

[stiff sage]

updated script

genuinley unsure why its not working

enemy is in correct layer, code seems good (i think), damage math sould be correct

[raven glacier]

you havent even said what is supposed to happen

[stiff sage]

oh sorry

[stiff sage]

the enemy is not dying

the enemy is supposed to die

with the current values (damage being 1) and enemy health being 2,

2 hits should kill the enemy

[raven glacier]

debug your code

[stiff sage]

ran debug for both, no issues

[raven glacier]

what does that even mean

for both what?

[stiff sage]

both scripts

in vs studio code

[raven glacier]

i dont think we're talking about the same thing

what exactly did you do

[stiff sage]

uh.... this....

[raven glacier]

yeah that's not what i was talking about

i meant adding debug.log statements to your code

[stiff sage]

ohhhhhh

ok attack seems to be triggering without issues

enemy taking damage is the issue

i guess

it only works when enemy has a box collider

and rigidbody

is there a reason to that

[raven glacier]

yeah, a rb is necessary for a collider to be triggered and detected

[stiff sage]

thank you bro

i really appreciate all the help

[stiff sage]

is there a way so i can visualize my attack range during gameplay?

[raven glacier]

Yeah you can draw gizmos

[stiff sage]

i thought that only works i the editor

ohh // Draw the attack range in the game view
Debug.DrawLine(attackPos.position, attackPosition, Color.red, 0.1f); // Draw for 0.1 seconds?

[stiff sage]

im gonna tweak

the direction is correct

but the damage is dealt right

my directional attack broken

;-;

[median zinc]

probably you have named things terribly and confused yourself. lastDirection attackPosition , the "attack position" log and the line you draw here all can be deleted because they have no bearing on what gets hit. At a guess, you meant to use attackPosition instead of attackPos.position in your overlap query

otherwise it makes no sense for those other things to be there

[stiff sage]

blunt a hahaha

thank you
