Enemy Attack Insta-Killing Actor - Set for Flat Damage Attack - Not Sure Why Killing Actor

[Chroma-Creative-Solutions]

Currently I am working on a project where I am going to be setting up a system that causes effects to the player when they are hit with different types of Fear attacks, and at different Fear levels. I am very confused however with what is currently occurring in my project. For an unknown reason the attacks by the enemy are not doing a flat damage rate, and sometimes insta-kill the actor, regardless of what I set the stats for the actor at. None of the current stats are relevant to the game I have just been testing to determine why the skills are insta-killing the actor occasionally. I have not been able to figure out the issue. Below you will find photos of plugins, actor, enemy, troops, skills, states, etc for the project.

Strangely even without plugins it will say that the skill has done 10 damage, then my player will instantly die. I have tried this with/without plugins on, turning each plugin on/off, and cannot determine what is causing the issue. Any assistance or guidance is greatly appreciated.

State ID 1 is reserved for death state, do not change that.
So, if you apply state id 1, it will insta-kill whoever get the state.

Since it's happening even without plugins, I'm moving this to MV Support.

Skills 1 and 2 should also not be changed.

That fixed it, no more issues! Thank you very much, I did not realize that was a hard state in the engine that could cause that type of issue. Appreciate the help!

Skills 1 and 2 should also not be changed.

Thank you for the information! I am using plugins to remove the ability to attack and guard, and limit the player to only be able to use one ability, items, and escape. Will it cause any issues with those skills being overwritten?

You should be okay if you also don't give those skills to any of your enemies then. It's the State 1 as TheoAllen pointed out that's causing your current issue.

@Chroma-Creative-Solutions
just as a further tip:
make a new project without deleting the default database, and really read what is there.

You'll see that the state #1 and skills #1 &#2 will have notes on them telling you exactly what was said above. Additionally, some of the default traits on classes are there because the engine needs them - for example the HIT% defaults to zero without traits, which means that if you delete all those default traits without replacing them, the actor will never hit anything.

So it really helps to check what the default database contains before deleting it.
