reset game lives? Kill actor?

Dooki

Hi there,

Did a search but haven't found exactly what I need, though I thought I did see it once before.

Reset:
- Main actor has three lives. If he ends level one with two lives, he starts level 2 with two lives.
- How do I reset game lives upon change scene.

Kill actor:
- Main actor races against the clock. Time runs out and a "retry" actor appears (spawn).
- My actor still moves around when the Retry sign appears. How can I kill the actor when retry spawns?

Thanks folks!

Hi TSB,

2) So in my main actor I have a move rule. So am I creating a new rule (attribute: game.start=1) and then putting my current move rule into this newly created game.start rule? If so, it doesn't work. If not, can you give a little more detail on this?

Thanks!

Oooo, I just tried something, but it didn't work though.

- I have an attribute called "MoveTo" that moves my actor, and it's set to "1."
- In my actor that stops the timer and spawns the "Retry" sign I added a
change attribute:MoveTo=0.

I didn't work. I also tried a "3" but the actor was still able to move.

Thanks again.
Yeah I did the same thing:

- game.start rule, then put my move rules inside it.

I made the game.start and integer attribute. Is this correct? As soon as I move my move rules into the new game.start=1 rule, my actor no longer moves. Hmmm.

Here is screen crab:

End of time with game.start=3

Not sure if this matters but my timer is a clock image that scrolls across a bar. When it collides with the above stop actor, the stop actor triggers the "Try again" sign, and now the game.start=3 attribute.

My bad!!!!
When I created the game attribute it was set to "0." This threw everything off. Thanks again TSB and CodeMonkey!
