That way each time the enemy moves it would subtract 1 from it, and each time it's hit by a slow tower you can set it to a fixed number. If slowTimer == 0 you move normal speed, but if slowTimer > 0 you know you need to apply the slowdown effect and subtract 1 from slowTimer. If one tower keeps hitting the enemy, it will keep resetting to the fixed number, avoiding stacking the slowdown or pre-emptively turning it off. | |
