+---- Thread: [SCRIPT] Ticking damage (/thread-11965.html)
Ticking damage - i3670 - 12-20-2011
I have this water/acid area and when the player enters it I want him/her to take ticking damage. Is this possible? The damage should also stop when he/she leaves the area.

Yeah....Here's how you'll want to work it out:
Add a collide callback with the slime area that tracks both entering and leaving states and is not removed automatically. Then just check which state the player is (1 for entering, -1 for leaving) and either start a looping timer which gives the player some damage or stops the timer using RemoveTimer().
