Code: if(you){ if(you.skill22 == 1){ you.enemydead = 1; } } Then I get the error "enemydead" : is not a member of 'ENTITY' when I run the game. What am I doing wrong?

Where is "enemydead" from? You cannot add your own variables to the predefined entity structures, but you can redefine their skills to reflect more user friendly names; Code: #define enemydead skill[99] Now saying enemydead would be the same as saying skill[99] A8 com / A7 free
