Hi there! I'm having a problem with an enemy reincarnating directly after dying.
As it is now, the event goes as follows
Hitpoints = 0:
change animation to "Disappearing"
Animation disappearing has finished = destroy
It goes through the animation but seems to freeze up at the last one, then it disappears for a second and then returns. It is not being "created" by any event. I'm not sure what is causing this,any ideas?

Hitpoints = 0
Destroy
The disappearing animation automatically plays when you destroy an object.
You'll probably want to make it Hitpoints <= 0 so that if the enemy hp goes into the negatives it will still die.

I've tried that too, I even did a "if hitpoints <0 set hitpoints = 0" but it didnt work out. If I remove the "disappearing" animation alltogether it destroys fine, but I'd really like to keep it in.

also worthy of note: when I make an event to destroy the enemy when I press for instance "J", it is destroyed but reincarnated, and the command doesnt work a second time.

Don't change the animation manually. Remove the part that says "change animation to disappearing"

It didnt do any difference, I've tried setting it manually and destroying it at once.

No, it's a 14 frame-single run at speed 20.

You're not being clear in what you are saying at all.
Post a mfa.

What I mean is, I've tried having the animation set to Disappearing at 0 hitpoints, but i've also tried destroying it at 0 hitpoints. Neither has worked.

Try moving the animation you want in disappearing into another animation type and then retry it.
So for example it should be:
Hit-Points of ("Enemy") = <=0
Change Animation of ("Enemy") to Shooting
Animation shooting has finished = Destroy ("Enemy").
Maybe that might fix it? I'm not quite sure to be honest, MMF2/TGF2 has odd ways of giving you bizar bugs with these things. I tried making a monitor once and I had kinda the same problem when trying to show a disappearing animation when the monitor/box was hit.

He could have just fixed it the way I originally told him. Don told him the same exact thing and for some reason he didn't listen ?_?

It's not a bug actually, when you destroy an object, it auto starts the dissapear animation, on animation finished if you destroy the object you will force dissapear animation again.

I know thats what I was trying to tell him.
Adding the line to change the animation is redundant

Gamester, he told me to set "destroy" in the event, not to switch the slot of the disappearing animation. Only using destroy in the event didn't help,
changing the animation-slot did. I don't want you to think I listen to advice, I really appreciate that you tried to help me!

I didn't really take offense, I'm just trying to say that switching the animation slot is un-necessary.
Whenever you destroy an object the disappearing animation plays automatically so you don't have to code it in. Your problem stemmed from this.
