I asked about getting health from enemy cause I want make burning enemies. For now they die after some time. I have a simple idea when Proximity Damage attached to enemy. But if PD linked to enemy and hurting him, he is not moving until he die. Also burning enemy must hurt player. So I think about this solution: track enemy and spawn PD near him every frame while fire is burning.

ah, you dont wont steal health from enemy and give it to player, correct ? that was the first thing i thought by the "getting health from enemy" formulation.
so you want to make a enemy die if he burn, but he should move and the enemy should also hurt the player if player touch him, correct?

Yes. If enemy burn, his health must go down, but after some time fire disappear and monster can be alive. For example: enemy has 255 health, and fire take about 200 health from him.

how did u realize the fire? does the engine know that a AI is burning ? or is it done all with triggers?

Yep, it's all triggers When enemy go trough fire I switch on light and particles which linked to him.

so it will work only at this special enemy, correct ?

Yes, only for some enemies.

ok, connect a delay trigger and at every output call a mission function:

---------------pvcf-------------------------------

local _healthdecreasing = 50;   --reduce enemy health with this amount
local _allowedevents = 5;       --allow to call the healthdecreasing X times
local enemy1 = System:GetEntityByName("nameoftheenemy");   --find enemy
if enemy1 and enemy1.cnt and enemy1.cnt.health and enemy1.cnt.health > 1 then 
if not enemy1.cnt.allowedevents then enemy1.cnt.allowedevents = 0; end
   if enemy1.cnt.allowedevents <= _allowedevents then
      enemy1.cnt.allowedevents = enemy1.cnt.allowedevents +1;
      enemy1.cnt.health = enemy1.cnt.health - _healthdecreasing;
   end
end
------------

---pvcf----

for each enemy just copy that whole code in a new missionfunction and replace enemy1 with enemy2 and insert the proper name (red field) from editor.

the delaytrigger should call on every output that missionfunction and trigger self again a input. this will run in a endless loop, but the missionfunction will garant that
the health will only be decreased x times. (5 in that example, 5x50 = 250 = death )

if the delaytrigger have a delay from 2 seconds, every 2 seconds 50 hp will be reduced to the victim.
