Game over transition.

[coffeeANDsoda]

I recently I put together a small prototype with a simple health system how do I make it end within the same level? Because When I have a player take damage, the game doesn't stop and it doesn't transition to a locked gameover event.

Thanks.

You can set up a global transition that ends the game and when the player dies you send global broadcast to everything in the game to go to that event.

So basically in every FSM you will have a death state with a global transition attached to it that will be activated when the player dies by sending that broadcast event.

How would that work with actions though?

The send event action has an option to broadcast. The rest would be through states and global events.

So if I enable kill_player event it should work when I broadcast send event?

[sebaslive]

yes, but it has to be set as a global transition.

On the gameover state? Or the setup state?

[sebaslive]

on the set up state.

on the set up state.

Whether it's self, or broadcast all, it doesn't work.

Did you right click on the state and set up the transition as a global transition? So the transition will be set on top of the state instead of the bottom. Try that if you haven't with the broadcast.

When I did that for the bottom state End game, the global transition line/arrow thing connect to it turned yellow and got a error and paused. But when I did the same thing and put the transition on the Setup state, the health bar went back to the amount that I started with.

Can you post a picture of your set up?

This is what I have the healthmanager.

Check out this tutorial which can better explain events being sent to other objects with the broadcast.

So that each gameObject has the transition kill_player that stops movement, health, etc.

How does it work without Send Event to FSM? Since I'm using a more recent version of playmaker.
