Hello, I am making a game for the Game On Jam, I chose exploding barrels as the cliche`, I gave them a lives system. I have it Explode and Revive. But, when the Revive script is executed it keeps minusing here is the code
If I print it gives me number in the negatives like -188, and keeps going down
I know that I named the IsExploding Var is named wrong should be ShouldRevive
You can ask for the uasset files
You hooked up you function to the event tick. You are calling this every frame.
You need to limit the execution to once per action. Either add a do once node with a reset factor or move it to an event based action (like on take any damage)
Now, after making it the the part of ActorBeginOverlap, If i hit it the first time it shows 5, which is default amount of lives, then if, I hit it again, it prints multiple lines:
1
2
2
3
3
4, and then hitting it again removes it.
You should have in internal bool isReviving that it should check against before running the code after overlap.
Before going into the revive timeline set isReviving to true. After the timeline is complete set it to false.
That way it should only trigger once per overlap until it is ready again.
What is the length of your timeline? If it’s zero then it will automatically complete the function. It should be the equivalent of the re-spawn time.
This is connected to the overlap actor now? Show the beginning of the function.
Still the same amount of damage done from a single hit
what happens in the explode function?
Ok so add a branch with a check for is exploding at the begginning. If false then set is exploding to true then put the rest of your code. (You can remove the later set for is exploding)
Still the same
Busy?

Here is a working example of what you are trying to achieve. Overlap the default floating pawn with the barrels to see the effect.
Yes I was busy.
Thanks, After tweaking a lot of things to make it work, I got it to work. You maintained the same semi-clean code.
