Knockout = Gameover

[seven]

Is it possible to make a snippet of code, so that if any actor in the party dies, it's game over? This would be essential in my game, where there are no random encounters, and one character not getting EXP from battle would have the player would be screwed anyway. :x Thanks!

Events in every battle that check for each player's status going to "down" would do it.  (Making it a common event would save coding time, of course.)

No resurrection items, eh?  That's going to be a challenge for some players, but it could be fun...

Good luck with it King Red Of Pancakes! :thumb:

Unka Josh, that method could work, but it sounds a bit time consuming and my planned release date is disturbingly close.
@khmp: So I just replace the default scene battle with this?
