How to end the game once out of lives?

clmariek

Hi there, not much experience and I'm making this for an assignment. The goal was to make a mini game of cat and mouse where you gain points by shooting projectiles but each time the mouse hits the floor, you lose a life. I want the game to end at the end of three lives but so far every code I've tried has just messed the game up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you allowed to ask for help on this assignment? If yes, basically you make a variable called life, set it to three when green flag clicked. Each time a mouse hits the floor you take away one from variable life, and make a forever if variable life = 0 broadcast end(end message so you can show an ending page or something) stop all. This is the most basic type, there are ones that are a tiny bit more complicated but I think you can go with this.

Set the “Lives” variable to whatever you want and if it's less than 1 stop everything.

Change the script for clones in “Mouse1” to this:

Using an extension so just ignore the dark theme.

Thanks for the advice! Also, yes I was allowed to ask for help; they just want us to get an understanding of how coding works.

Thank you! I kept trying to add the stop all code to mouse 1. I think that's why it wasn't working.
