Pass the Instance of one class as a parameter by reference into the function of the other class.

You could just have a method that takes as arguments the health to substract and the object to take it from, and a method in the other object to substract health : class fighter(): def attack(self, other, health): other.substract(health) def substract(self, health): self.health -= health obj1 = fighter obj2 = fighter obj1.attack(obj2, 10) *edit: forgot to add self reference

@spcan yes, but two different classes? you just made one class covering all fighters, and if I want different type of fighters?

@Leonardo Brocchi there are several options 1. you copy the method to each figther class, which gives you the ability to alter them at any time given 2. you create a general class and inherit from it 3. you could use just a general class that, by expanding it, allows you to have every aspect of it customizable If what you are worried about is an object calling a method of a different class object don't be.
