How to set game over redirect?

Post by Poketube »

Essentially: I found the game over redirect option, and I'm curious. How do I make it so that once the player's health hits 0, It redirects to a game over? :atmey:

When the player's health hits 0, AAO will either proceed to the frame marked by the last 'Set the "Game Over" redirection' or just end the game immediately.

If you need more than that, you'll need to be more specific. I don't think I understand the question.

I'm trying what you said. I'm testing. My health hits 0, then it just goes... poof! It's over, despite having a frame marked as game over redirect. Do I have it BEFORE the frame the health hits 0 on?

Yes, it has to go before the 0 health frame, since the action sets the redirect only when the frame it's on is played. If the action came after the 0 health frame then there wouldn't be any frame set for the game over to redirect to, so it just goes to a "the end" screen.

Just before the game over frame, the frame number doesn't matter. All that matters is that the player plays through the frame sometime before the game over so that it sets the redirect. I would just put it on one of the first frames so you can guarantee the player touches it and you can find it easily if you need to edit the frame it redirects to.
