Hello,

I am not quite sure why yet, but I have one enemy with the killable script attached. I am spawning that enemy several times. When I do damage to any of the enemies all the enemies take damage. I'm going to investigate more, but wanted to see if you've seen this or have advice. Thanks.

I haven't seen that before. Turn on the "log events" checkbox for the Killable and see if you read anything weird in the console.

Interestingly when my enemy first spawns it is taking a single point of damage. The main logs are:

Killable 'Spawner1' log: Taking 1 points damage!
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
Killable:LogIfEnabled(String) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:890)
Killable:TakeDamage(Int32) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:598)
Killable:CheckForAttackPoints(Killable) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:522)
Killable:TriggerEnter(Collider) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:477)
Killable:OnTriggerEnter(Collider) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:465)

and this:

Killable 'Spawner1' log: Invalid hit because layer of other object is not in the Layer Filter.
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
Killable:LogIfEnabled(String) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:890)
Killable:IsValidHit(Int32, String) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:544)
Killable:TriggerEnter(Collider) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:470)
Killable:OnTriggerEnter(Collider) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:465)

And This:

Killable 'Spawner1' log: Invalid hit because Killable is set to ignore offscreen hits and is invisible or offscreen right now. Consider using the KillableChildVisibility script if the Renderer is in a child object.
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
Killable:LogIfEnabled(String) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:890)
Killable:IsValidHit(Int32, String) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:556)
Killable:TriggerEnter(Collider) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:470)
Killable:OnTriggerEnter(Collider) (at Assets/DarkTonic/CoreGameKit/Scripts/Utility/Killable.cs:465)

I also get this, but don't think it should produce the current result:

The Prefab Pool 'MixedEnemies' has no active Prefab Pool items. Please add some or delete the Prefab pool before continuing. Disabling Core GameKit.
UnityEngine.Debug:Internal_Log(Int32, String, Object)
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
LevelSettings:LogIfNew(String, Boolean) (at Assets\DarkTonic\CoreGameKit\Scripts\Level\LevelSettings.cs:867)
WavePrefabPool:FillPool() (at Assets\DarkTonic\CoreGameKit\Scripts\PrefabPool\WavePrefabPool.cs:141)
WavePrefabPool:Awake() (at Assets\DarkTonic\CoreGameKit\Scripts\PrefabPool\WavePrefabPool.cs:29)

Here is the full log file: www.dropbox.com/s/xvzircxiug1xh59/EnemiesSpawningAndTakingDamage.log

Not quite sure what it is just yet.

Here is how I have the object setup. Basically a trigger volume and an action to spawn an enemy prefab at its location. That enemy prefab then spawns projectile enemies.

Here is an image of how I am setting up the object: www.dropbox.com/s/g7vpsc8ah07neq7/ObjectSetup.JPG

It says "disabled Core GameKit". Fix that one and see if you still have the same problem or not.

Any insight into the other two errors and why when I spawn the enemy it is taking damage? Thanks.

No, not really. Most likely you've got it set up incorrectly, but you'd need to send me a small project reproducing the error for me to be able to figure it out. The logs aren't very helpful this time. Are you sure you have the layer filter set up correctly? If its taking damage it is colliding / triggering a hit with something.

Ok so I was being a bit of a dumb ass...

My thinking went something like this.

I'm looking for a low maintenance setup solution to have enemies despawn when the player is a certain distance from the player. So I thought I would simply try to increase the box collider for the enemy to something big and when the player leaves the volume the enemy will despawn. I also only ever shot the enemy at its geometry, but as it turns out any projectile fired causes damage to the enemy (duh), I also had several enemies with overlapping box colliders and they both took damage at the same time.

I of course found this after tearing apart my project (a copy) to send to you, hehe which is the spirit of debugging.

Ok, problem found and fixed, thanks for reminding me about logging, it got me going in the right direction. Now back to the original problem I was trying to solve, finding a good and cheap way of despawning enemies based on distance from the player.

I guess the enemies won't be offscreen when they're a certain distance away? You could try putting a sphere collider on a child of the player (a trigger) and putting that in a different layer (a layer which doesn't hurt the enemies). Make sure to give that trigger a Rigidbody (Kinematic) so it doesn't trigger as the parent (player) as well. Then you'd just need to add TriggerExit code and check the layer.
