Need to code Enemy Attacking Portion of a Pokemon/Turned Based Combat System

Once the player has clicked a button to attack and the damage and such to the enemy has been calculated, I then need to run the function to calculate the damage the player takes AND DISPLAY THE TEXT/INFO the player needs to know on screen long enough/and possibly give the option to skip the text.

So what's the problem?

 

Well first declare the health at the top, and then do a function that allows you to randomly generate Attack Damage using Random Range.

As for displaying the text make a canvas>Text then something like...

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEditor.UI;
2.  
3. public Text playershealth;
4. public int playersHP = 100;
5.  
6. void Update () {
7. playershealth.text = playersHP.ToString();
8. // this should display the health inside the text as long as the text is on canvas and you've dragged the text object to the Inspector once script is attached.
9. }

 

I have all that I literally just need to have text display when the enemy is attacking so the player knows what is going on look at this video

 

I need to display text when the enemy is attacking so the player knows what is going on video

 

do a boolean the that checks if attacking is on and then make your gui visable when attack and if false gui is inactive

 

ok I found a much easier way in using the Invoke (); class, but can't seem to get it to work with calling a function from another script video

 

Just make a GUI image with text displaying which attack is happening , then make it inactive when it's players turn. Then when back onto AI turn, for ever attack have it display 'Enemy Attack1" and so on....
