Hi,
Does the kit support two different types of hit points, such as shield and armor?
I wanted to have a system where the shield acts as a first layer against enemy projectiles
After the shield is exhausted, then the armor will take any further hits.
When the armor is exhausted, then the player will explode.
Is it possible to do this out of the box?

No, but if the shield is visible you could do a Child Killable thing, where the player can't be damaged until the shield is destroyed. The Player would be a child of the shield. Check out the Composite Killables example scene for an example of that.

What if I want to set it so that the shield can run out of hit points, but will recharge again after 5 seconds.
Would I have to use the respawn method?

So, I have a player that has a spawnable shield. When spawned the shield is childed to the player killable object. The first time it is spawned it works correctly, making the player invincible until the shield runs out of hit points. The player then takes damage like normal. When the shield is spawned agan it no longer becomes invincible. The only CoreGameKit scripts that are on either object are killable scripts. I use the playmaker action CGK Pool Boss Spawn to spawn it. Am I missing something? I could have sworn it worked correctly before, but I'm totally baffled here.

You would need to send me an example. Perhaps it doesn't check for child killables at the right times.

I fixed it by adding a 'send message' playmaker action to the Player object to "RegisterChildKillable" after the shield was spawned and it works everytime now. But you might want to look into why it wouldn't work everytime like clockwork. Thanks for offering to dig into an example though!

Is there anything i'm missing here? I made a shield which is a child of player so it moves with the player, and checked the player with inv. while children alive, but the player perishes along with the shield. When i check invincible, it also dies, so i'm doing something wrong probably  Also, it works fine when i collide with enemy, the shield disappears. But how do i spawn it as a player child again, it spawns as a separate entity.
Any advice on these two? |

Any advice on these two?Are you spawning the shield as part of the player prefab? If you are, it should work properly until it dies the first time. If not (this method is better), you need to parent it to the ship from code, and you also need to tell Killable about its children for the "invincible when children exist" part to work. That is done by calling this method in the parent Killable from the child (shield): (Pseudo-code)
parentKillable.RegisterChildKillable(shieldKillable);

Yes, i'm spawning the shield as a part of prefab. I even tagged them differently and put them in a different layer in the collision matrix, but the player blows up with the shield.
I'm not so good at coding, but i'll give it a try!
