Hitboxes and Position of Objects

[slicky-grease]

I programmed a hurt box for my enemy and it is working perfectly. I have it so that when the enemy gets destroyed, the hitbox gets destroyed with. When I have 2 enemies in the room and when I destroy one enemy, all of the hitboxes get destroyed. What I want to happen is when a specific enemy gets destroyed, the hitbox that is associated with that enemy gets destroyed.

This is in the destroy event

with(other)
{
instance_destroy(obj_hurtbox)
}

Also, another issue I have is when I attack an enemy, he will always go to the right when attacked. I am trying to program it so that he is going in the direction that he is getting attack from.

Create

facing = 1

In Step

//Flipping Sprites
if (dir != 0) image_xscale = sign(dir);

In End Step

//get hit
if(hit){
  
    hsp = hitBy.xHit;
    hitStun = hitBy.hitStun;
    facing = hitBy.owner.facing * -1;
    hp -= hitBy.damage
    hit = false;
    sprite_index = spr_grunthit;
    grunt = grunt.hurt;
}

For that you need to store the ID of the hitbox instance in a variable, then use THAT in the instance destroy command instead of the general hitbox object index (as you are doing now). For example:

// CREATE EVENT OF ENEMY OBJECT
hitbox = instance_create_layer(x, y, layer, obj_hurtbox);

// DESTROY EVENT OF ENEMY OBJECT
instance_destroy(hitbox);

I got it to work, it was a bit different because i forgot I had a script for it and I used it but thank you for getting me into the right direction. The only issue I have now is the positioning when the enemy gets attacked by the player. I been trying to figure that out for days now.
