How do I change maps upon death? It would be kind of cool to not only change maps but make it slowly fade to black first, show some text, change maps, and then slowly fade back into visibility. Can I get help with that too? =)

Also, why am I getting "unregistered sound 24/25" when I die in lava, and how do I fix it?

Thanks

EDIT: There's also "unregistered sound 65".

1: Not sure if you can but i think if you can code you be able too
2: yes you can it just not registered in sandbox but i think you need to code (not sure if i right with that)

Anyway hope this helps

Not really... Neither of those fix my problems.

Changing maps by death would require some intricate coding. That doesn't mean it's impossible or extremely difficult. There are topics for linking maps together in the support section. Once you figure out how to get that to work, move on from there

All the code would go in the config file.

This is the only one I found:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1249&p=9718&hilit= ... +map#p9718

and I don't understand how it works.

After a little bit of tweaking and messing around, i have managed to get teleporting to work. (You must set the entities type to 2 or something, and then set the tag to a number- then go into your map script and type "level_trigger_*number* = [map "*Map Name*"])

level_trigger_2 = [echo "*message*"; endsp; sleep 1000 [map *name*]]

I see the config edit when I press F6 and I know how to place entities with the GUI, but that's it. Where would my entity go? Would it have a humongous radius? Does the player have to the touch the entity for it to work (I need it to work when the player dies)? How do I set the entity to work with the trigger?

Among that are the other questions I had, such as:
How do I make it fade out, make text display, and then have it fade in a couple of seconds later? I guess that's what echo and sleep are for. Would I just do something like this in the F6 config editor? EDIT: Okay, I finally figured out how to link an object to a trigger (I used this for help - just to help out those who are reading this: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=532&p=2481&hilit=trigger#p2481)

but I still have no clue how to get it to work when I die. Do I have to use purely code, and if so, what?

you could try this:
I have never used it before... but hey...

Then theres this... If that code works, try this:
These are untested codes... I didnt have time to test them...

in both RPGs (the released and the 'experimental' in the SVN), you can set a death script on your player that executes when he goes to say hi to his maker.

I think it'd be r_death [map blah] for the released RPG, I'm very unfamiliar with it right now

for the new one you'd define a script and assign it to the player, ie

r_script_new
r_script_death [map blooh]

r_death [map mapnamehere] works, but there's 1 problem with that - My game needs to be FPS. :S

This is for several reasons... In RPG mode:
1. When it goes to a different map, the player is still dead.
2. I can't seem to get jumpvel, movespeed, or gravity to work (which are all vital parts of my game).
3. There are extra HUD items, spells, etc. that I don't want in my game at all.

So, is there (A) a way to fix all 3 of those while maintaining RPG mode or (B) another way to change maps upon death so that it happens in FPS mode?

Thanks for the help!
