Oxygen Level

[saiwong3268]

I am working on a water area. However, what I've found is that I am too focused on avoiding enemies that I forget to check my oxygen level and die through lack of air.

Can you implement a way that
when low on oxygen to get some sort of ALARM sound ? (The alarm sound can turn off when you
go up to the surface or get enough oxygen through bubbles).

find an option "Loop Command" and try something like this:
if air < x
{
play sfx = y
loop = staggered
}

where x describes what number do you want your alarm to start, and y stands for a sound effect used.

"loop = staggered" does an action every 5 frames, so that might be too fast. I think it'll work, but you don't know untill you check.

I'm not sure if that will work. I wondered if that might work, but I doubt it. It's worth a shot though!

[Gizgord]

it does not, you hear this alarm above water. I tried:

if swimming = true
and if breath < 5
{
sfx = 5
loop = staggered
}

seems like it should work, but it doesn't. maybe you need to use a timeline.

[CGM]

The and conditional is incorrect. It should be & breath <5. And I didn't think you could cause commands to loop by doing loop=staggered.

[Gizgord]

The and conditional is incorrect. It should be & breath <5. And I didn't think you could cause commands to loop by doing loop=staggered.

I'm reading all commands from the page, and both "and breath <5" and "loop=staggered" are written down.

[CGM]

I wasn't aware of the breath command. And I'm aware of the loop constant and staggered commands. I just didn't know that it'd loop commands you wrote down. I thought it only worked in area beginning commands.

[Gizgord]

that may be the case. either way, I can't get it to work. not great with commands.

I was looking at the command line tutorial

https://theplatformbuilder.com/Conditionals/


maybe try:

if swimming = true &  breath < 5
{
sfx = 5
loop = staggered
}


does this work ?

[CGM]

It might! Try it out and loop it in the loop command for the sandbox level. Find it by clicking settings. I believe it's at the top right.

Creepy memories from Sonic 1...

I finally got it to work with the following:

if swimming = true
{
if breath < 3000
{
sfx = 5
loop = staggered
}
}

[Gizgord]

really, it does work?
you're a Mastermind, that's what you are.

I finally got it to work with the following:

if swimming = true
{
if breath < 3000
{
sfx = 5
loop = staggered
}
}

Good job! Antikore should be proud of you!
(and a bunch of Sonic fans should be eternally grateful to you )

[CGM]

I'm not sure how to interpret that.
