You have the code to do this in your project. Is the code not working? (I can’t tell, I’m on mobile)

ACanadienCapybara

it is not

When an enemy notices it gets hit by the sword, hide or delete the clone.

when I start as a clone
forever
if <touching [Sword v] ?> then
delete this clone
end
end

In your project, you already have the scripts, I'm not sure why it isn't working though.

You could make them disappear by broadcasting a message and then hiding them.
when player kills enemy
broadcast [Kill Enemy v]

when I receive [Kill Enemy v]
hide

But they're clones, you also need to delete them, and he already has these scripts inside his project. His script detects if the enemy is touching the sword or not.

Agreed, I fixed it.

i did this, and the enemies are clones

when I start as a clone

glide () secs to x: (0) y: (0)
forever
if <touching [ ] ?> then
delete this clone
end
end

ACanadienCapybara

still not working

Make sure to hide the clone.
That should work…
Edit:
Actually, I cannot get it to work.
Just give me some time, I will get it.

nothing happens when clone touches sword

ABelly99

I found the solution.
I think the sword's hit box is wrong.

In the sword sprite, were the:

when I start as a clone

block is, put a if touching enemy broadcast kill enemy.
This should work if you get a

when I receive [Kill Enemy v]
hide

In the enemy sprite
See if that works…

still not working

ACanadienCapybara

and also it has to do with clones not with the actual sprite

Is the problem that the sword is only defeating enemies when the enemies stop moving?

ACanadienCapybara

no, the sword does not defeat the enemy at all

Right now, it looks like the enemies only disappear when it touches the player. I see you also want them to die when they touch the sword.
There are 2 fairly easy solutions:
1. Make a separate sword sprite and have the enemies die when they touch or
2. Make a variable called “swinging” and set it to one when the player swings. If an enemy touches the player while “swinging” is one, then it dies and does not remove hp. Make sure to set “swinging” to 0 after the animation is done.

I already have a separate sword sprite

Sorry if this isn't too helpful but I'm too lazy to look through code rn so maybe you could give me an insight on what exactly is wrong? I can provide help from there

Update: I'm smarter than all of you (joke) >:) I found the problem. It's the glide code. It waits until it's done to run the code after it.

here's an fix example: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/996348393/
