Solved Delay End Level

Question that is answered or resolved.

Hi everyone, I’m back with another question. I’m looking for a solution or an explanation for this issue I’ve been having since I started modding OpenBOR games—specifically regarding level creation. I hope my explanation makes sense:
When I’m creating a level and finish off the last enemy (not a boss), the scene ends almost instantly—either before the death animation fully plays out or just a microsecond after it happens—cutting straight to black and moving to the next scene. The issue is that in other mods—like *Rocket Viper*, *KOF Beat 'Em Up*, etc.—the enemies finish dying, there’s a pause of 2 or 3 seconds, and *then* the next scene starts or the screen fades to black. It might be an issue with the `at` or `wait` commands, which I haven't quite mastered yet. I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and how I might fix it, since it happens to me every time. Thanks in advance!

I don't know if I understood correctly, is the problem related to how fast the level ends after the last enemy is defeated, or related to the level finishing before all enemies are defeated?

In the first case, I suggest checking the functions falldie and nodieblink in your enemy characters, as well as their death animations.
Depending on how they are configured, it can affect the level transition as soon as the last enemy is defeated.

That is exactly the first thing I was referring to, but how should I modify those two commands to stop that from happening? Also, I was looking into a script called "endlevel"; if I add it to my mod, will it have any effect on the problem I mentioned?

O Ilusionista​

I hope you'll forgive my ignorance—since I'm new to this site, I don't know how to send you the level from my mod. However, I can show you a comparison I just uploaded to YouTube: in the original game (*KOF Beat 'Em Up*), the enemy finishes dying before the screen slowly fades to black, whereas in my game, the screen starts fading to black before the enemy has even finished dying. I've also included the specifications for the last two enemies I defeat at the end of the level.Comparison between a standard game and mine (second game)

I don't know if it has anything to do with the image size, but I'm just putting it out there.

Well, I finally managed to fix the error I was having; it was indeed the "nodieblink" setting—I had it set to 3 because I wanted enemies to stay dead on the ground. However, I modified it by simply removing the command, and now the stage fades to black just as I wanted. So, that was the issue, and the temporary solution is to remove that specific command. Many thanks to O Ilusionista and Kratus
who contributed and took the time to help me resolve this; have a great day.
