1. How do I get my player to have full health when he re spawns after being killed (Yes I know this is a very simple fix but i just spent the last few hours working on a npc attack and respawn code)
2. How do i set up a code for health regen if the player is not fighting
3. How do I factor in defense when facing enemys

1. Depends on how your Health var is stored. If it's in a datum, a simple Max() proc resetting the value works.

2. You'd have a timer that you spawn when the player attacks. WHILE the timer is active, you'd count down, after it's done, you start to regenerate

3. You have to code it to be considered in the attack code.

Ok I got the health thing fixed with this
src.health = maxhealth

Thank you for the help Lugia319

I am going to recommend using datums for stats like that. See

On the defense thing I have it coded in and everything but when i have the item that grants defense equiped it will say the following

Monster2 attacks Test for -58 damage! then it will add hp so how would I go about fixing this issue would i use something like
damage -= M.defence / 2

Do an if statement. If you do less than 0 damage, then set it equal to 0.

You need to tab the statements after the if
