Aha ok.
They don't work like that no.

It's a shame really. I suppose I could go and mess around with Waitdraw();, but I'd probably just end up braking things and I haven't got my new laptop set up for compiling yet anyway.

I have an idea; What if on one script you increase Links HP by a stupid amount like 1000, then on the WaitDraw script you check and see if Link->HP is lgreater than 1000. If it's not then you know Link would have died that frame. So you can set his HGP to 1. .. Doable?

That's exactly what the code I wrote in this thread does >_>
The issue is that the system draws the amount of HP Link has onto the screen during Waitdraw(), so it looks as though Link always has full health.

Whoa.... I totally didn't even see that. I even got it exact to what you did by the HP amount. Well you know what they say: Great minds think alike. =P


Question: What if you bypassed the Game Over function in the source code for exactly one frame?

Eh, I'm a bit scared of doing something that major to the game loop =P

Cat got your tongue eh?

-You know I'm half curious to know what the LOC for zc is running for 2.5, but something tells me I don't wanna know.

[Joe123]

Mm.
If it was as simple as 'adding another frame after death', someone would have already done it.
If it's not, I'm really not up to it.

'LOC'?

[Gleeok]

Oh sorry, "Lines Of Code".

[Joe123]

Oh.
I'm not allowed to distrubute the source code.

[Gleeok]

Wasn't asking for it.

I believe Linux's is in the eight digits. crazy ****.

..nevermind.
