How to make a limited number of lives [Difficulty 🟨 or 4/10]

In some video games, you only have a limited number of lives, for example, if you respawn 3 times, the game ends.

Today, I’m going to teach you how to do this in GKC.
Items Needed but may vary depending on how many lives you want:
3 Lifecycles
3 Overlays
2 Counters
1 Team Switcher

Step 1: Place three Lifecycles. Set one of them to game start and the other 2 to player knocked out.


Step 2: Place one overlay and make the text say “3 Lives left.” Now wire the first Lifecycle to the first overlay. Event occurs > Show overlay.

Step 3: Place a counter with these settings:

Wire the second lifecycle to the first counter, Event Occurs > Increment counter

Now connect the first counter to the second overlay, Target Value reached > Show Overlay.

Lastly, connect the first counter to the first overlay, Target Value Reached > Hide Overlay

Step 4: Repeat Step 3 as much as you want and when you reach the 1 Life Left, overlay, Place another Lifecycle (copy it from the first lifecycle), Counter (copy it from the first counter) Target: number of times you repeated step 3) and a Team Switcher (Spectator)
Connect the Lifecycle to counter, Event Occurs > Increment counter.

Finally, connect the counter I mentioned earlier in the beginning of step 4 to a Team Switcher. Target Value reached > Switch Player to configured Team

In the end, it should look something like this:

That’s it! Hope you enjoyed it :grin:

Great guide! I think you should rename this “how to make a limited number of lives” since heath bar sounds like you’re making something that’s already in the game.
