invincibility in bonus level
- Thread starter jonsilva
- Start date
the bonus stage is set with drums
some explode others are subtype flydie and other bounce towards the player
the problem is that iam already using this objects in previous levels
and iam trying not to add unecessary objects and (animations/panels) to the game ive already added a lot of this and i dont whant to reach the engine limit and then heve to start removing things...
increassing the player health in the level seemed the best option to me
ive tried
spawn1 260 390 a
health 10000
like when you spawn an enemies
spawn jimcombo
health 220
aggression 200
coords 630 365
at 20
but it dindnt worked...

Yes they have been. Still no reason to be wastfull (because while the engine may not be limited, your hardware might be). Still, one or two duplicated objects are not going to make a difference.
OTH, I would have sworn the invincibility flag CAN be set with script, which you could trigger on level entry. This would make the player utterly invulnerable though, not just have infinite health.
Another thing you could do is look at the dohit events, and nullify damage if in said level. That way player could still take hits, just never die. That's a pretty involved thing to do though if you are a novice at script, and probably more than you want to deal with for a bonus level.
