Game wont become Over!

master200012

Alright. I have an actor running on a never-ending stage. He jumps and dodges obstacles on the stage. When he hits one, he loses a life. When he has zero lives, he dies and changes scenes to a game over scene.

This works fine the first time through. But when I play it again (not coming out of the app and playing again, but directly retrying), the actor dies but the scene doesn't change.

All help is appreciated. Thanks!

What is the rule for triggering the change scene? maybe post a screenshot?

Sounds like you need to set lives to 3 when you restart the game

No, the attribute resets already. Something else is wrong. But thanks for answering.

you should have an attribute that says when game.lives = 0 then change attribute game.gameover (boolian) to true. Then when game.gameover = true change scene to game over. Then when you reset to play again change game.gameover back to false.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for the post but still to no avail.

Anyone else?

the suggestions above should work. if not then it could be a few things.

* are the lives actually decreasing during the second playthrough?

* if so then what is the exact rule statement that sets off the gameover? the problem is likely something to do with this. what math symbol are you using (=, <, >) ?

* if you're using an extra attribute for the gameover trigger (ie gameover=true/false). is this attribute actually resetting during the second playthrough? if you're not sure then use a display text to watch what its actually doing during play

Here's the result of the things you've asked for:

The lives do reset.

I use an = symbol.

The attribute does (game over) does reset.

The device replicates the problem.

But it seems an actor, no matter what the scene, that has once changed scenes refuses to change scenes once again.

This problem's becoming annoying. Thanks for the help so far guys.

Anyone else?

No, never mind I got it to work. I just found a loophole in the build.

For the sake of keeping this question answered, I will accept your answer, EatingMyHat.

Thank you to all who have posted so far!
