Hi Slasher.
After looking at the Script you showed, it got me thinking.
Messing around with your script I finally ended up with this...
Code: ags
Now when a Ghost or other such nasty beastie collides with character he stops and screams, Only once, the meter goes down and then you continue along your merry way.
This may not be the prettiest way or even the correct way but it seems to work, to a fashion.
If anyone knows of a better way then please enlighten me.
Thank you Slasher for giving me the Idea, much appreciated.
Yours.
Jay.
