Health points and damage

Manage health (life) points, shield and armor.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: 4ian, Muzan7, VictrisGames.

Manage health (life) points, shield and armor of instances of an object.

It handles:

  • Damage cooldown
  • Health and shield regeneration
  • Over healing

It can be used on:

  • Players
  • Enemies
  • NPCs
  • Inanimate objects (for insance breakable doors or mining rocks)

The top-down RPG example uses this extension (open the project online).
