Question

I want to have different death animation from each enemy, but i’m beginner and that’s really hard to find in opensource.

extends Node
class_name HealthComponent

signal dead(killer)
signal damaged

@export var max_health: float

var current_health

func _ready():
	if(max_health == 0):
		printerr("Did not set health for"+ owner.name)
		return
	current_health = max_health

func damage(damage_amount: float, killer: Node = null):
	current_health = maxf(0.0, current_health - damage_amount)
	
	if (current_health == 0):
		dead.emit()

Doe`s that health componnent is ok for it?

• How to make other components can find it?

  • Use metadata, such as owner.set_meta(&"Health", self).

• How to show error with stacktrace?

  • push_error is better than print, print_rich and printerr. For example, push_error(message...).

• Is that brackets in if statements is required?

  • No, you can use if cond: directly.

• Other suggestions?

  • Assign a initial value to each variable.
