Help? How can i make a character use a sword against a Sprite?

I'm making a dungeon explorer game and i was wondering how to make it when he picks up the sword and it goes in his inventory, and he presses space to use the sword it kills the monster?
i've already done this but it doesn't work.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<touching [ Monster] ?> and <key [ Space] pressed?>> then
broadcast [ Hit Monster]

But that didn't work. what that is supposed to do is when the flag is clicked forever it waits for Sprite 1 key space to be pressed and touching Monster that then Broadcast's Hit Monster when Monster receives Hit monster it hides but. that never works.

It depends on what else the “hit monster” message does. Since it is in a forever loop it will be broadcast dozens of times whenever the condition is met. So take that into account.

yes that is what it is supposed it will constantly be on the loop cause there are multiple monsters. since there are at least one for each level.

What @footsocktoe means is it will happen 30 times a second and since you're using a broadcast the receiver script probably won't have time to complete before it is restarted. So broadcast and wait may be better and you may prefer not to let a broadcast happen for, say, a quarter second after the previous one.

Script inside your guy that fights

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<(distance to [Guy (not monster) v]) < [50]> and <key [Space v] pressed?>> then 
broadcast [Hit monster v] and wait
  else
end
end

This should work (Tip: Dont work allot with broad cast you can do thiswith an variable to

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<(distance to [Guy (not monster) v]) < [50]> and <key [Space v] pressed?>> then 
set [Hit.Monster v] to [1]
  else
set [Hit.Monster v] to [0]
end
end

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(Hit.Monster) = [1]> then 
change [Monsterhealth v] by (-10)
if <(Monsterhealth) < [1]> then
 YOURSCRIPT
end
else
end
end

Now add an delay in and you are done!

I hope i helped you!
