How can i add lives to character??

[Sondise]

How can i add lives to character (please with lives count by number, example: x3)?? And how can i add lives during the game, for examples, after taking 100 coins?

First open the script editor and click on "variables". Click on "add" , call the variable "lives_count" and click on "add" again.
To show the lives during the game create an actor and add a text. Then use the draw actor event and open the script editor.
Use this script:

Code: Select all

sprintf(text, "Lives: x%d", lives_count);


To add a life
use this:

Code: Select all

lives_count += 1;


To lose a live write "-= 1" instead of "+= 1".

To get a life with 100 coins use the collision event from your player with the coin and use this script:

Code: Select all

coins_count += 1;
DestroyActor("Collide Actor");
if(coins_count==100)
{
    coins_count = 0;
    lives_count += 1;
}


These codes should help you.

Is "coins_count" a new variable?

[Kalladdolf]

yeah, should be.

[asmodeus]

Yes. Add it on the same way as "lives_count". Of course you can use other names for the variables, if you want.

How about game over when there are no more lives??

[Kalladdolf]

Code: Select all

if(lives_count < 0)
{//write your game over action here\\ ;}

[Sondise]

Ok, and how about restart level?

[Kalladdolf]

depends on what you wanna restart.
if only specific things, (like score, players position and, coin and live number)
set new numbers for them and move the player to the position you want him to have.
If you wanna reset competely everything, use the loadGame function.
on game over event:

Code: Select all

LoadGame("level1");

(level1 is your game then)

[asmodeus]

Or use this script if you have all levels in one game:

Code: Select all

view.x = ? // x-start position of the view
view.y = ? // y-start position of the view
CreateActor("player", x, y, false); // write x and y start position from the player (x, y)


[Sondise]

In this level, there's a race, you must win the computer, so, when i restart, I return to the initial position, but the computer not!

[Kalladdolf]

so, you mean, you entered the code, but there's some bug?

[asmodeus]

Write computer.x = ? and computer.y = ? in the script editor.

[Sondise]

Ok, if there's another problem, I'll post.

[asmodeus]

I'll ever help if I can.
