Hey guys, simple question:

Let's say my player has Energy = 100 and I want his Fireball attack to drain a certain percentage from my Energy...Like 50% so that he isn't too OP with his magix.

How do I do that?

energy -= energy * 0.5

In this case, 
energy *= 0.5


For an arbitrary percentage, 
energy *= (1 - P)
where P might be 0.25 to lose 25% of the current energy.

If you actually wanted a percentage of the maximum energy,
var cost = max_energy * P
