So, I'm making a QTE game. Y'know, like the whole game is a series of QTE's?
Kind of like “Dragon's Lair” from 1983? I've got all of the code and animations down for the first QTE.
But for some reason when the timer hits zero you don't lose. My code looks fine though. I even coded the timer to stop whenever it hit zero, but that doesn't work either.

Can someone help?

It would be helpful if you shared the project!

This sounds really interesting and I would love to help out if you could share it.

Bet

can you post the link when you share it?

Here ya go: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/988654259/

The timer is skipping over 0! use

<(timer) < [0]>

instead of

<(timer) = [0]>

Also, a lot of your code can be optimized. For example, instead of

forever
if <> then
end
end

you can use

forever
wait until <>
end

and instead of your animation code you can use

switch costume to [first costume v]
repeat (this number should be 1 less than the number of frames (costumes) in the animation)
wait (0.125) secs
next costume
end

or

repeat until <(costume name) = [final costume name]>//costume name is a variable in the looks category, it doesn't 
wait (0.125) secs //--------------------------------------------------show in forums
next costume 
end

I hope this helped!

Thanks! I managed to fix it! I'm adding more to it now.

nice.

Hey, I really appreciate the help you help you gave me.
I just wanted to keep you updated on the game's progress:

There are now 3 QTEs total also with an unfinished fourth one, and I made
an anti-spamming system that makes you lose if you press the wrong button.

Without your help I probably would've given up on this, so thanks.
I'll make sure to credit you when the game is finally finished.

Cool! in the future, if you see a thread that hasn't been posted on in a while, you shouldn't post again on it, but i'm glad it could help you.

Oh, my bad.

But just one more thing.
Do you know any ways I can get the game popular when it's finished or almost finished?
(Besides advertising on other peoples' projects?)
