bonus lives

[mffl07]

Here is a very simple question for someone... How do I go about rewarding the player with a bonus life for reaching a certain score level?

You can use the conditions and actions of the Player object to do this. For example:

+ Player 1: Score is greater than 10000
+ Only one action when event loops
-> Player 1: Add 1 to lives

The "Only one action when event loops" (in the Special object) is important, as without it, the player would keep having 1 added to their life count as long as the score remained about 10000.

This is a wrong way todo it. If he loses 10 score and gains 20 he gets another live. You either also reset the score, or you make a note somehwere (INI or GlobalValue for example) that the live has been added. So when this happens, it will not add a 2nd, 3rd, etc... live.

Not necessarily, what if you can't lose score in his game? Also, the fixes you suggested would still use DavidN's method anyway.

If you can lose score then just use "Run this event once" instead of "Only one action when event loops".
