Hello!
I am new to RF and its scripting language. What scripting knowledge I have is in flash and actionscripting. I have created an enemey pawn and am using the genericmelee script. Problem is the only weapon that will kill my pawn is the gernade launcher. No other weapons seem to affect the pawn. Is there some place that I must define what weapons will damage the pawn?

In this script the pawn uses health as its health attribute. The attribute that is damaged by a weapon is set in the weapon.ini file (located in the install folder). Most of the weapons have this attribute set to enemy_health (since the player's health attribute is also health he could damage himself otherwise). Either change health to enemy_health in the pawn script or the attribute in the weapon.ini file from enemy_health to health.

Well I thought it did the trick.
Ater I changed the attribute from health to enemy_health I am able to kill the pawn. But the pawn can not kill me?

Thanks Bernie, that was it, I had actually already found the problem after hours of trial and error.
