I have read the specific tut ( http://modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-616.html ) (Go to the part that says for infinite health) and i did everything it said and i still cant get my allies not dying

Does anyone know an easy and effective way of doing it?

Should be something like this:

ally_nodamage() //If you spawn them via script
{
allyteam =getentarray ("ally", "targetname");//Gets only static spawner entities 
friends = [];//Creates empty array
for(i=0; i<allyteam.size; i++)
{
    friends[i] = allyteam[i] doSpawn();//Spawns actor
    friends[i] thread maps\_utility::magic_bullet_shield();//Then actor is given magic shield

}
}

OR if you want to spawn them via a trigger, put this line somewhere in you main function, but after the maps\_load::main():
(Updated this part, it had an error)

array_thread( getentarray( "ally", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield);

i used the 2nd way as they spawn via trigger ( 6 allies) and i want them to have different targetname and also have invincibility.

I did this in my gsc.(i dont show the rest so you wont be confused)

after the maps/load main

{

maps\_load::main();

	array_thread( getentarray( "Alex", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield());
	array_thread( getentarray( "Pan", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield());
	array_thread( getentarray( "Jami", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield());
	array_thread( getentarray( "Loz", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield());
	array_thread( getentarray( "SV", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield());
	array_thread( getentarray( "AV", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield());
	
	thread ally_nodamage();	
}
	
	ally_nodamage() 
{
    self thread maps\_utility::magic_bullet_shield();
}

resize the window if you have to.

I get an error in this. in the from the first (with Alex NOT the "{" )

What exactly does the error say?
With the second way, you actually dont need the function ally_nodamage(); (that was my mistake).

And try this:

getent( "Alex", "targetname" ) thread add_spawn_function( ::magic_bullet_shield );

I get the same error with this code too

(getent is used for more than 1 entity)

the error is uploaded as a photo.

I used just alex to test it. becoyse i thought it would be faster to check just 1 character.
Anyway in the end ill need all 6 characters to be invinsible.

If you have only one spawner with given key/value, you must use

getent( "Alex", "targetname" ) thread add_spawn_function( ::magic_bullet_shield );

If you have more than one spawners with same key/value, you must use

array_thread( getentarray( "ally", "targetname" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::magic_bullet_shield);

The error is telling, that you have multiple spawners(or other entities) with ("Alex", "targetname") key/value, so you must use getentarray, or remove these key/value pairs from other entities

Oh crab i didnot notice that i had a spawn trigger for alex among with two enemies andcos of that they had all the same targetname . ok now ill try again and i will info you for any success or error

It works It really works !!!
Unbelivable. looks so nice.
Epic battlesa ahead.
Thanks 3stonian. U r helping a lot .

It doesn't really matter which way you do it in scripting. They all work. And my tut needs updating.

Since it's solved, good job!
