How do I enable Death Tracker?

Postby Yaoi Apprentice » Sun Aug 26, 2018 2:21 am

Title.
I am making a Super Meat Boy esque game with the character Juni so the player will die a lot, even on the beginning stages.
I think a Death Counter would be pretty neat, but there are no instructions on how to use it, unlike with the Stage Timer.
I am a complete noob at this stuff, I have literally zero idea where to begin or what code to use.

Also I want the Trump icon, I think that'd be hilarious.
Sorry if the answer is simple and I am being dumb.

Juni is getting removed in beta 4 so it may not be a good idea to use him.

Have you tried loading the deathTracker library or looking at its documentation on the wiki?

Don't know what you mean by loading the deathTracker library.
Again I am a noob sorry.

And it doesn't seem to exist in the wiki.
There doesn't even seem to be a page dedicated to this kind of stuff.
I've looked through the code itself but I got nothing.

Sorry to be a bother.
If I am too noob for this then you can just say so :3

Here's the wiki page. How To Use has code on how to load it. Do NOT drop it into luascriptslib though. Paste it locally into your level or episode folder.

Ah okay thank you.
I was looking at the wiki on this site lol
Now that I know that such a place exists, I should have no more trouble adding in additional scripts.

After a lot of trial and error I got it to work, but not with Juni.
Due to her automatic savestates it will never show up, so it has to be a character that has a normal death (i.e pretty much every other character of course :3)
It's also a shame that Juni will be removed in Beta 4.
Her Savestates caused a fair amount of problems but other then that I thought she was a cool character.

Well thank you guys soo much, I really appreciate it <3
