How do I die?

Hello,

I have followed the beginner platformer guide and made the player flash when hitting the enemy instead of dying.

I just can't find a way to make it die

Thank you in advance.

play a die animation, and when the animation finishes, subtract 1 from some life global value and reset the layout....basically... but of course, it depends on the exact behavior you're after.

I added this health instance variables to my Mario character and set it to 1.

But I don't see any response when touching the enemies.

If this pic enough to tell or if it's better to upload a capx file?

Thank you so much.

Why would you see a response? You're just setting a variable, you need to make the players sprite react somehow, like play a getting hit animation etc.

PS, have you seen this? You might be able to learn a lot from it.

I meant I don't see my character die after setting it. Anyway, I'm going to watch the youtube video. I have a lot to learn.

Thank you.

You need an action that makes the player play a death animation etc once "health" is less or equal to zero... C2 wont automatically invent an entire death sequence for you.

best of luck,

Yes I know. I will skip the dead animation for now. Just want my character die, minus a life, spawn in the beginning of the stage.

But I just don't know how to make it die.

I upload my capx file, would you mind to check if my events missing something?

Player on collision with enemy ----- Subtract 1 from health

Health = 0 ------ Player destroy - And show text "You Lose" Then restart layout

Health = 0 ------ Player destroy - And show text "You Lose" Then restart layout

Thanks so much! Now I understand the logic slowly.
