I'm trying to code the AI for the enemies of my game and I noticed this problem. writing the following code... + Collision between Player and Enemy + Enemy ID = 1 = Then sub 1 to Player's HP isnt' the same thing as writing the following? + Enemy ID = 1 + Collision between Player and Enemy = Then sub 1 to Player's HP I mean... I always tought tha switching the condition's order does not change a thing. Am I wrong? Because in the first example, nothing happens... while with the second example the PLayer's HP are correctly decreased. So what could be the problem? Maybe a bug? Somebody did experienced the same problem? Thank you in advance! All that I see is the years...

I'm sure many many bugs that have stumped people and caused projects to not be finished could have been solved by order of events and conditions. They are both important. As the saying goes, if it fails, heads is tails. Switch around the events and conditions and see what happens. Edited by OMC

I also know that the order of actions is very important, but how can the conditions order be so important? I mean... If I have 2 apples If I have 2 strawberries Then I have 4 fruits If I begin to check my strawberries first, then it would be If I have 2 strawberries If I have 2 apples It does not change the fact that I still have 4 fruits. Conditions order could be important for other reasons, but it must not make difference if I put a condition before or after another. Am I wrong? Edited by ]Alpha[ All that I see is the years...
