Ok so i am new to game studio and i decided after reading the

tut i should start off with something simple. So i decided to

make a simple game were you simply attack a target and it dies,

so i decided to start off with making a little script that when

the character runs into another the character hit dies. My only

problem is when i run into him i have to keep running into him

for him to complete his death animation or it just stops.

Here is the script:
Code:
///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

var walk_percentage;
var death_percentage;
ENTITY* gurad1;
ENTITY* guard2;
var health;

function main()
{
	video_mode = 7;
	level_load ("work21.wmb");
	wait (2); // wait until the level is loaded 
	camera.z = 120; // choose a convenient height
	camera.tilt = -15; // and tilt angle for the camera
	
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function bounce_event() 
{
  if (event_type == EVENT_IMPACT)
  {
   
        // play a different sound
      ent_animate(guard2, "death", death_percentage, 0); // "death" one-shot animation 
		death_percentage += 3 * time_step; // 2  = animation speed for "death"
		wait (1); 
      return;
  }
}  
///////////////////////////////
action Kill_guard() 
{
 my.emask |= ENABLE_IMPACT;
  my.event = bounce_event; 
  while(1)
  {
  	if (key_w)
    c_move (my, vector(15 * time_step, 0, 0), nullvector, GLIDE);
    wait(1);
  }

  
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////




action dead_guard()
{ 
guard2 = my;
my.emask |= ENABLE_IMPACT;
  my.event = bounce_event;

}


I couldn't figure out why i have to hold w when i run into

him for him to complete his animation i thought he would just

run the animation once he is hit but i gues it doesn't.

Does any1 have an idea why? Or have a solution i would be so

great full.
