Screen Trigger for Boss Text

[Electric cat]

Hey all,

I added the Dale coops code for the text box to appear when the boss monster dies. Works great. But the issue is when NORMAL monster object dies it trigger the code. I added the screen trigger condition but doesn't seem to work. Here is the Code , can anyone see what is stopping the screen trigger from working.

;;; what should we do with the monster?
;;; monster is loaded in x
LDA Object_vulnerability,x
AND #%00000100 ;; is it weapon immune?

To trigger a screen:

TriggerScreen screenType

The parameter is a screen-type value, not a screen id value.
(here, the "screenType" variable contains the type of the current screen)

You can use value directly, if you want to trigger a type that is not your current screen one, for example:

TriggerScreen #12

for triggering the screens that are screen-type 12

I went back in to the code made the change. The code compiles right, but it still triggers the text box after a monster is killed. Is the screen type in the correct line in the code. I placed it in before the above as a condition before the "Dale Coops" code

TriggerScreen screenType
triggers the screen (the screen will be no more "normal", but now "triggered") that doesn't open any textbox. You might have another piece of code that opens that text, somewhere.

So... what you need is find where that code is (maybe in your All Monster Killed script?... or in your Handle Object Collision script)?
