player jump (move route) to activate game over

[dac420]

im trying to have the players use a grapple to get from one area to another

im having troubles activating the Game over screen when players jump over the edge or into a wall.

im using the Set move route command Player jump -3 +0 so when the player jumps three. but its a jump into the wall.. how do i then call it game over so its like you died

There's an event command to call a game over; is that not workable?

I'm sure he means: how does he make the game over happen when the jump causes the player to jump into an impassable area on the map.
Calling the game over screen is simple enough, but you are looking for a conditional branch to solve your problem.

There is currently no option within the conditional branch event that will do this for you, except the script condition. So my solution to you (if I understood correctly, of course) is to use a conditional branch with a script that returns if the given player tile position is passable on the map. If it isn't, then you call game over.

I am not familiar with VX Ace map scripts, so I can't tell you what the method is called. At least in XP you'd call: !$game_map.passable?($game_player.x, $game_player.y)
If it's not the same, at least you have an idea of what to look for.

If I was completely mistaken about what you wanted to accomplish, then at least I tried to understand!

Just put a terrain tag on all of the impassable tiles on the map, and use a conditional branch, if the player is stood on that terrain tag, call the game over screen... it's VERY simple
