Game Over Script help

[WaspUK1966]

I've found a flaw in the code I've used in my mod. Basically, I have a floor trigger in a fire pit that starts a timer when you land on it. This timer runs a script every second which damages the party by a certain amount until you get out of the pit, which sets off another floor trigger to stop the timer.

Code: Select all

function causedamage()


party.party:playScreenEffect("damage_screen")
playSound("champion_die")

for i=1,4 do
if party.party:getChampion(i):isAlive() then  
party.party:getChampion(i):modifyBaseStat("health", -8)   


else
end
end
end
 

But obviously, as ive found out, if you dont get out of the pit, it will keep repeating even though all the party is dead. I assumed the game would automatically end when all your party had died. How can I code it so that it ends the game when all the party is dead (game over screen) and turns off the timer etc.

Any help greatly appreciated

Don't use Champion:modifyBaseStat() to do damage, it will screw everything up. Use Champion:damage().

Doesn't modifyBaseStat change your "Max" values ?
So you don't "damage" your champions, you reduce they maximum health. The game probably don't check for death after changing base stats.

So how do I use Champion:damage() in my code, instead of what I used? I've tried all combos I can think of and keep getting errors.

Thanks

Try that :

Code: Select all

for i = 1,4 do
	party.party:getChampion(i):damage(math.random(8,15),"physical")
	party.party:getChampion(i):playDamageSound()
end

just change the math.random() part for whatever value you want.
Change "physical" for "shock" for instance if you want shock damage. (here is the damage type list : “physical”, “fire”, “poison”, “cold”, “shock”)

I use this in my gameOver function:

Code: Select all

for i = 1,4 do
  local c = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(i)
  c:damage(c:getMaxHealth()*1000, "pure")
end

Thank you so much for that! Works brilliantly. Now my Mod will work as it should. Will release soon once several tweaks are completed. Thanks once again (was giving me a bad headache!)
