Im making a top down mini game were players get grenades. Depending on the distance from the grenade the player should take more/less damage. I have a tag sensor that picks up the signal from the grenade and set to signal strength. The tag sensor is then linked up to the players health bar. But the damage from the grenade is always the same, no matter how far (as long as its in range). I know its not a problem with the health bar because everything else on it works. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Take a look at comphermc's and silverscorps tutorials about working with analogue signals. I'd say without looking at your exact setup that you'd need to make sure that the tag sensor that dectects the bombs is set to closeness, and the radius is out as far as the splash damage will go. On the other end of the equation you just need to take this analogue signal and scale it to give the correct damage. Apart from the older ideas about health bars; Have a look at this tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4GaCQ1eRVE) for what I hope will get you on the right path. Just take the idea of storing the signal and have it output the value of a timer/counter set to speed scale that is hooked into the tag sensor set to closeness.

Here's a simple fix/idea. 1) Change tag sensor to proximity. 2) Output tag sensor into positive of a combiner 3) Output a battery into negative of combiner 4) Output combiner into divider 5) Use positive output to deal damage (seems you have this part working, but ask if you don't know how) The battery will limit the amount of damage dealt when the explosion occurs on the unit. Say you want it to deal 70 at epicenter, then you set the battery to 30. Adjust the range of the tag sensor to adjust how quickly the damage falls with distance. A smaller range means greater drop.

ok I got the damage scaling fixed but now it doesn't want to go into the health bar unless it's full

Then that depends on how you deal damage. You're likely relying on digital rather than analog signals to deal damage. Can you explain your setup? Use a feedback loop if possible, as those are generally the best (imo).

I got it to work but it the damage will only drop after about half way out.

What value are you using for the battery. If you have it at 50, it would reduce the range of the damage by half.

Did you make this? That's the battery I'm referring to. This should work provided you use a damage system that can interpret analog values. The above would be on the unit, not the explosion. The explosion only has the tag for the tag sensor. Use an AND gate with inputs as: 1) A pulse activated by a tag sensor (tag sensor set to strength -> a counter pulser) 2) The system I outlined before This would go into the combiner you use to deal damage to the health. I suggest using a feedback loop, since with a speed scale timer, it's not as intuitive, and is generally more complex.
