Hey there NESmaker users!
I wrote a script, and with some "help from my friends" it was able to "come together"
(*apologies for The Beatles puns)
Below I have two input scripts, both relatively simple and written to explain things clearly (*I hope*)
FIRST: You need to know a few things: This script uses variables such as myLives, (Optional) my Score, and (Optional: see below) myContinues
SECOND: YOU NEED A GAME OVER SCREEN http://nesmakers.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2137&p=26172#p26174
(make one from here or your own way)
PLEASE! MAKE SURE THEY ARE DEFINED! PRETTY PLEASE!
I have commented out the parts of the script pertaining to SCORE and CONTINUES to enable them you can uncomment them or download them already edited (your choice)
You want to assign this script below in inputs to your GAME OVER SCREEN STATE or lacking that, your WIN screen state
The script below is an input for the Start Screen (or any screen you want to add credits with a button press) This is only needed IF you want LIMITED CONTINUES.
I use press SELECT button on START SCREEN (*I commented out the SFX but you can add them back in*)
those were the two simple scripts, below is the uncommented version of CONTINUE WITH SCORE RESET AND LIMITED CONTINUES...
LIMITED CONTINUES AND SCORE RESET:
Thank you to Drexegar and ChronosV2 for all your help making this work gentlemen.
I hope this helps some of you out
