The devil is in the details, which you do not tell us. How precisely did you use an "if"? Should we guess what you did?

If you did this:

while fighting:
     do combat
     if enemy hit points <= 0:
         print "Hello!"


then naturally it would not work. But if you did this:

while fighting:
     do combat
     if enemy hit points <= 0:
         break


it will. So the real question is, what did you try?
