Death in the underword fix? 4.5.9

I noticed dieing in the underworld warps me back to the associated tile from the overworld

Is there a fox for this?

It would help if you could post the hurt/death script. The warp map needs to be 1 in order to warp to the underworld. So you need to make sure in your death code, it is set up like this:

LDA #1 ;;; Underworld
STA warpToMap

warpToMap 0 = Overworld
warpToMap 1 = Underworld

Here is the code> Also important to note im having alot of trouble adding a player death animation.

Also a game over screen. I took away the JMp reset and added a warp macro there but the screen just freezes. Honestly just not sure what Im doing wrong with this one!

When you die, you respawn at your previous checkpoint
Make sure you have a correcr checkpoint script and also that you placed a checkpoint tile at strategic places (usually the beginning of your levels).

Also, if you're not using checkpoints and you're starting your game from a screen on the underworld map, you need to modify the Initialization script.
Search for the "STA warpMap" line and AFTER that line add:

STA continueMap
