Don't post vote topics that are pointless. It's not the right thing to do at all.
You see that bold part?
In future, don't post a VOTE topic unless it really is to get a census feel from the group. Whether you're asking alot of questions is neither here nor there.
I would have replied earlier - with answers to at least a few of them - but I just got back from a birthday cruise, and am still feeling the hot poker of xmas seering my eyeballs out.
Don't feel guilty for asking so many questions. It's just a shame that you've got no previous experience in programming at all.
And the smashing demo's together, is that I've got a few at home, stored away. I'll update them to ASL 350 (the latest Quest version) and change it so that it's more relevent to you. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes max.
And I got what you wanted to do. There's a thing in a status variable called "onchange". So when the strength changes - the health can also change.
Remember - you nead 2 health variables! One for the MAX value, and one for the health of the player at any given time.
