🔟Health

Give an asset health with settings to kill or respawn the asset.

GAME MAKER 0.9 MULTIPLAYER ENHANCEMENT

The Health component is now available in multiplayer games. Combat is still in development. In multiplayer:

• Avatar health is affected through the Health message, Power Up component, fall damage (relative to distance fallen), lack of oxygen, and block damage. The Avatar's health component is found under Player settings.

• Object health (characters, props, etc.) is affected through messages and block damage. This page details an object's Health component.

​​	Gives an asset a life system to: Receive damage and healing Set instant death message Send a message when health is 0 Respawn to Checkpoint after death Display a Life Bar to visualise an object's health Set blocks to decrease or increase object health

PERFORMANCE TIP In multiplayer Experiences, there are two layers of logic that will not communicate with each other: singleplayer [SP] and multiplayer [MP]. For best performance, only apply [MP] behaviours and components to objects that MUST be synchronised to all players (or communicate on that layer), and maximise use of the [SP] (Client Only) layer.

USAGE TIP This component will not communicate with Quests or [SP] behaviours or components. It can be used in singleplayer Experiences.

Common Uses

• Give an asset health so it can be killed by the Avatar.

• Display Health Bar on assets

• Kill assets as a logic tool to send precise timed messages.

• Deprecated: Used to loop/cycle logic endlessly or by message. Instead, use Timed Events behaviour or Game Rules system to create loops/cycles.

Communications

Inputs: Message to trigger death Heal/Damage messages

Outputs: Send message on death
