Hello!

I am new to the world of Scratch game making and I was hoping that one of you might be willing to help me script two things in my game. First, I need help making an enemy disappear after being hit with a weapon - basically coding it so that the enemy recognizes that its "dead." Secondly, generating a score for each enemy death; and lastly, creating waves of enemies for each level at different speed intervals - like in Plants vs Zombies how there are a few zombies here and there and when they are all defeated, a huge horde attacks the hero. Any help would be very much appreciated!! Thanks!!

The first two questions are simple and can be attempted using these blocks.
First create a variable called health.
You will also need a variable called xp.
[scratchblocks]
when gf clicked
set [health] to (5)

when gf clicked
forever if < touching [weapon] >
change [health] by (-1)
end

when gf clicked
if < (health) < [1] >
hide
change [xp] by (1)
end

// the last one is the hardest. To make them move faster at different intervals, make a //variable called round number. This would be the number for the wave.

When gf clicked
set [round number] to (1)

When gf clicked
show
forever
change x by (round number)
wait (0.1) sec.
end

// this will make the enemies move faster with each round.
// these scripts are general, so don't copy them exactly, but edit them to your liking.

Wow!! Thank you so much!! You've been a huge help!
I do have one more question - is there a way to script an enemy to regenerate at random time intervals after dying?

when gf clicked
forever
wait until <(health) = [0]>
hide
wait  (pick random (1) to (10)) secs
go to [spawnpoint v]

I added a "set health" block.

Alternatively:

when gf clicked
forever
wait  (pick random (1) to (10)) secs
set [health v] to (5)
go to [spawnpoint v]
repeat until <(health) < (1)>
be alive
end
hide
