Game Over Destroy Objects

[jbrown2177]

Hey gang,

How do I destroy all objects on the screen once all your lives are gone? Right now I'm just using 1 frame and when all your player lives are finish the game continues to re spawn all objects to include the main player. Without creating another frame and switching to frame how do I accomplish this?

This is easy...

CONDITION>Numbers of lives of (player1) = 0
THEN>DESTROY

So you put the destroy action in all of your objects..

This is what are you looking for?

You can move all of your events (that involve the main game) into a group in the Event Editor (New --> "a group of events") Once all players lives reach 0, then you can deactivate this group (Special Conditions --> Group of Events --> Deactivate) and this should stop any of your conditions causing the objects to be recreated. Like what paobrasil said, be sure to destroy all of the objects too.

I will try this, thanks!

Yeah, try, I think the tip of lh37 it's better and you will be less owrk

[jbrown2177]

Yeah, that worked as I searched for all the conditions that spawned objects, I just deactivated those and destroyed current objects on the screen when life was=0 and it worked. Thanks guys.

Easiest way I'd think would be to give everything the same qualifier (ex. Neutral), and then when the player dies you do Destroy.Group.Neutral.

[jbrown2177]

I never thought about a qualifier. I'll expiriment with that too. But my method worked too just FYI

[Del_Duio]

Qualifiers can be very useful. For example if you're making a platformer that uses backdrops and other objects to test for collisions, you could make every non-backdrop object you can stand on or whatever the same qualifier, and then test collisions vs. that qualifier.

It's much better and faster for you than to test for every different object.
