Im new to quest and am trying to make a battle system.i have created my health with a status variable and need help from here on.

Well then I extend my luck to you - I am myself on the same task.

It'll be a long journey for you!

Free Tip #1: Abandon status variables, they are the most horribly broken aspect of ASL as it stands. It's much more reliable to read/write to/from properties of objects than anything else.

Geared towards this specific task, I'll suggest that you just make a simple universal "TAKE DAMAGE" procedure in which, object a and b are both figured from where the procedure is called, then remove health/award experience as necessary.

P.S. Dial up internet is awful.

Really?
I love status variables more than properties myself... Those are perfect for HP (if HP goes below 0 at any time then player = dead).

Of course, I only use certain ones (current HP, MP, Gil and status effect list)... Everything else is actually plain variiables and properties.

Of course you may well be speaking from a QNet background - where it probably is better to use properties than status var's.

I went with the status variables in the end.It works ok.I should be able to put my game on the net in a couple of months.
