Solved Starting lives question

[PS_VITA]

If I start stage one with player one and player 2 decides to join (say, a few seconds later after the stage started) he will automatically start with 3 lives.

How can I change that to be 1, 2 or any other value. I'm guessing it's defaulting to 3 lives?

What are you saying? Do you want players to start with 3 lives, but will have their 3-life number to display as 2 like Final Fight? Or is it that you want only the joining player 2 to start with 3 lives after the stage starts?

1 or 2 lives not 3.

Have you declared lives command like this in levels.text?

set Story
credits 10
lives 2

Have you declared lives command like this in levels.text?

set STORY/ARCADE
equalairpause 0
noslowfx 1
maxplayers 2
nosame 1 1
credits 1
no share 1
custfade 50

Is there something wrong?

edit. @Bloodbane
success! that adding lives 1 did the trick.

now I just realized a new problem
setting credits to 0 gives 5 credits to player 2 whenhe joins later in the stage.

strange.

it should be:

noshare 0

without a space
