Screen Darken when Player Dies

Say, have you played any of the more recent Kirby and Mario 3D platformers (such as Super Mario 3D World)? Well, whenever the player dies, almost everything on the screen darkens except the player themselves. So I'd love to find a way to make it so that whenever the player dies in SMBX, almost everything on the screen darkens except the player.

Player death effect renders to priority -5, so without redrawing that manually, you will still see other foreground effects and the HUD undarkened.
https://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/LunaLua_Render_Priority
in onDraw:
if player.deathTimer > 0 then
Graphics.drawScreen{color = Color.black .. 0.2, priority = -6}
end
The 0.2 is the alpha channel for the color overlay.

Tried doing that, but for some reason, it still darkens the death effect. I set the effect's priority to 6.0 and the black screen's to -3.

...huh? How did you change the effect's priority? effect.txt doesn't apply to old effects. The handbook explciitly states that. I just tested my code and it works (no other code or modifications present).

Hastebin suddenly stopped working properly so I had to paste it like this.

Well, that sucks. Can you show me your code?

Like I said, I didn't have anything else going on.

Oh.
Wait, how do I redraw the death effect's priority?

Why do you want to do that?
There's many ways to do it. I'd probably make an effect in the custom range (751-1000) and manually spawn it and make the default one invisible.

Okay. I'll try that later.

Okay, I've made an attempt to do it. However, there's still a problem. Whenver I die, it results in error spam.

You never defined what v is in this context. You're looking for "v.x", without telling the program what "v" is.
