Chocobreak Lives = zero fails next frame

[xak]

i used Atari STOS and Amiga AMOS extensively, so glad to finally be back programming

obviously used to coding in a text editor, so have become stuck on the chocobreak tutorial, highly embarrassed... oh dear...

the problem is that when i have a no of live equals zero >> next frame, it doesnt work. the game plays on forever
the lives do decrement each time, and the 3 images of lives DOES decrease

i also added an "help.mp3" which should have triggered, and does not.

i am wondering if that is because the condition line is not green, as many others are
but then my new condition of "hit 1 on the keyboard spawns a ball" works and it is not green....

any help appreciated, thanks

It looks like you are comparing the actual number of "lives" objects not the value of it.

Redo the condition and use the condition

You'll also need to check the 'Play Sounds Over Frames' button under the application properties if you want to hear the "help.mp3", or you'll jump to 'frame 2' at the same time and the sample will stop. By default, jumping to a new frame will kill every sound.

And I'm pretty sure the reason your condition lines are green is because you're following the tutorial correctly, not because your conditions are valid.
