How do I make enemy invulnerable for a couple of secs from bullets?

Hey guys, im trying to get my enemy to become temporarily invulnerable to bullets. Im trying to get the bullets to go though the enemy and when the enemy is not in a temporary invulnerable state, get the enemy to become vulnerable again. How would one go about of making the bullets go through?

GamerDude96, a Boolean variable as mentioned by Maverick1912 is a good way to handle this issue but requires you to code when to disable it. I prefer to use an integer variable that stores the time to end invulnerability. When the character becomes invulnerable, you would set:

invulnerableUntilTime = time + X seconds

Then, when damage would be dealt to the character, you would check if:

time > invulnerableUntilTime

With a Boolean, you still have to set the value and check it but this completely removes the need to set the Boolean value to false. By nature of the passage of time, the invulnerability will be remove.

Thank you. I was looking for a simpler method of doing it without having to create a whole Boolean variable and code it then try to disable it. Your way was what I was looking for. Thanks once more.

Take a look at this example. There are 2 layouts. One that has very minimal actions. All you do is click the red ball to kill it but each time it is clicked, it becomes invulnerable for 5 seconds.

The other uses an 8 direction controlled player that will trigger the ball to be invulnerable. It also causes the ball to flash when it is invulnerable.

Another option is to use a timer behavior.

You can set it for x seconds, and use the (inverted) while timer is running condition in your damage event.

If you can attach your project, I can take a look at it for you.

Thanks for your help man :)

You're welcome. Good luck with your project.
