i want to make him attack me when he is close enough to me and if he hits me

how to make it go to a second attack

but if ikkaku block= true and the monsters attack hits me he would go to the animation movie clip named attackblocked

Arrays in games are best for keeping track of multiple enemies.

I’d suggest thinking about what actions you want to happen i.e. “attack”, “defend”, “move”, “dodge”… and make functions out of those. For example an attack might be like.

```auto

public class WingEnemy extends Enemy
{
     internal function aiAttack($ikkaku:Hero):Reaction
     {
           if(!$ikkaku.block)
           {
              // where PlayerHealth is a static Singleton class
              PlayerHealth.Hurt(-10)
              
              // make attackReaction a sub-class of Reaction
              return attackReaction() 
           }

           if(ikkaku.block)
           {
              return blockReaction()
           }
     }

```

cuz, you talkin in a different language then me

i have no clue how to work classes

or singletons

im using coding on just one frame and it attaches the hero movie clip and the enemy movieclip

and the enemy respawns if its killed

but i cant get my enemy to do anything besides come to me and when its 70 away form me it stops… within reach of my weapon but its stil doing the flying animation

until its hit  
when its hit itll go to a random animation and im fixing the code now so that if he goes to “block” he wont  
lose hp

i want to have him be like a streetfighter ai

but i dont like that whole ai random thing i have

i want my monster to be a fighting monster that can block me sometimes, hit me, fall when hit by full combo and get away from me at certain hp levels and come back with an attack

until its dead

wrong forum.

try Game / AI programming for help?

but what i would suggest is, if you don’t understand the language ultraky is writing code in… You should probably learn a bit about flash / actionscript or basic language elements of programming.
