When I kill one enemy, they all die?

Question

Hello, I am making an FPS where tigers chase you and you have to shoot them. I attached a script called PaintballDamage to my "paintball" w$$anonymous$$ch is the projectile that comes from my gun. It looks like t$$anonymous$$s: function OnCollisionEnter (theCollision : Collision){

if (theCollision.gameObject.name == "Tiger" || theCollision.gameObject.name == "Tiger(Clone)"){

TigerLife.HEALTH -= 100;

}

} My Tiger has a script called TigerLife attached to it that looks like t$$anonymous$$s: static var HEALTH : int = 100;

function Update () {

  if (HEALTH < 1){

Destroy (gameObject); } } I tried changing the HEALTH variable to public instead of static, but I get t$$anonymous$$s error message: Assets/Scripts/PaintBallDamage.js(3,27): BCE0020: An instance of type 'TigerLife' is required to access non static member 'HEALTH'. Whenever I kill one tiger, they all die. Does anyone know how to fix t$$anonymous$$s? Thanks so much!!!

You need to make Tiger.HEALTH (why is it all in captials?) not static. You need one for each Tiger. You would then do the following in your if statement:

      theCollision.gameObject.GetComponent(TigerLife).HEALTH -= 100;

Thanks a lot, just one question: What do you mean by I need one for each tiger? Thanks so much for the help!

You need a separate value of HEALTH for each tiger - if you make it static you have one value for ALL tigers.
