extra life

[frozonfire]

I need help on making EXTRA LIFE. Not a health bar, extra life

[jj2197]

Like an animation of an extra life.

[frozonfire]

i.e. Mario falls in a pit and dies. He had 5 lives earlier but now has 4.

[jj2197]

Do you mean making an EXTRA LIFE. Like as in an animation/sprite.

[frozonfire]

like in lives.

[frozonfire]

I.E.

Life = 5

Dies

Life = 4

[jj2197]

So you talking about how to make an actor have one less life when he dies. Correct

[frozonfire]

yes

[ondy1985]

You'll need an integer variable that will store the number of lives the player has. Name it e.g. 'Lives' (or whatever). On game start you run the following script:

Code: Select all

Lives = 5;

When player dies, run this script:

Code: Select all

if (--Lives == 0) ExitGame();

Hope it helps.

Or if you are changing to a different Activation Region (ie Level 1) use:
if (--Lives == 0)
{
view.x = -120;//insert your numbers for Level 1 Activation Region here.
view.y = -160;//insert your numbers for Level 1 Activation Region here.
}


Incidently, if you are new to this great program, it would serve you well to work through the tutorials and read the docs. Game Editor is very powerful, and deceptively easy to use, but it is like every program, it takes some time and study to learn the ins and outs.
