SOLVED!!! I was just clearing at the wrong spot still. I added clear to right before I modify my stamina and it works perfectly now. Thanks for all your help!
CAN YOU SHARE YOUR SOLUTION PLEEEAAAAAAASSSEEEEEE ?!
This whole thread just rocked my world. I literally gave up on this and used a work around (i.e. made my weapons weaker and gave my enemies variables that would subtract a defined amount of damage). This thread fixed my issue and I am hitting enemies once per swing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
