Hello, I'm trying to do what bioject has in his resident evil:one map. It's a VHP where each zombie or creature has about 4-5 hp's and there's more than one of each type of zombie.
I can get a vhp to work for the first zombie in my map but then all the rest die in one hit (obviously because whatever counter i used for the first zombie is now at zero). Is there a way to get this to work so that if I'm fighting 2 zombies at once they're counters wont interfere with each other?
Also whats the best score or counter to use and best way to set it up?

Use different types of death counters, don't use the same type of unit to count the deaths, also you can use switches and locations to center near the units to check if the attacking unit is actually dealing damage to that unit.

K I'm a noob so you're gonig to have to dumb it down for me.
First of all I've been told you cant use death counters to keep track of things that way, plus I tried and it didn't work.
I don't understand the second part you said.
Can you show me a sample trigger of exactly what it would look like?
(and yes I read the tutorial on vhp but I didn't understand it).
Right now I'm trying to use a scoring system and have the score reset to zero at certain points in the map that way every zombie on the map can be killed with the same score. Am I going about this the wrong way?

OK...
There are certain methods for doing this that are ridiculously complex, however, the system Tuxedo Templar used in 'Rush!' is rather simple, however, it requires several players (or hero units). You merely give the unit to another player when it is shot. For the hero alternative, you replace it with a hero/normal unit. For the second method, ensure your techs are at the same level. For example, if there are ghosts, merely replace(each time it is shot) the ghost with a stukov, duran and/or infested duran, or change the player, or do both.

(Argh I'm not Tuxedo_Templar for cryin out loud 
That was an account spoofer's name)
Unless you plan on having hundreds of units at a time with their own VHP, I'd advise against the Rush system.

Well I found a way. I went with the death counter method which isn't explained very well in the tutorials. I didn't understand it at first but Bioject explained it to me.
If anyone needs help doing the same thing I'll try to help if I can
