Im sure, that there are more solutions how to achieve this…

There is also another solution without need of using a timer. If the enemy has multiple frames in the animation, you can cause damage once per specific frame.

thank you for that. i’m attempting to test it out but for some reason the preview wouldn’t load. i’m not sure why it’s doing that. it’s only loading so slowly when i try to preview a certain scene.
