Anyone know how to add a clip to a gameover screen?

[Jesse66126 4]

Which script do you edit for it to go to a cut scene instead of the game over screen?

I want a game over like in Banjo Kazooie where instead of the usual blan "gameover",

you get a cut scene of the witch mutating his little sister.

 

I want to add a scene showing you what WILL happen next after your death or add a time loop,

like in Ephermal Phantasia,to give you another chance.

I just want something there instead of just "Game Over".

 

With this,the player gets a feel for the severity for the consequences of losing the game.

Like if it was a Super Mario game,if mario were to run out of lives and die,there'd be a scene of

bowser killing princess peach.Well that's a bit extreme,but you get the idea.

 

I just need something to happen instead of that boring gameover screen.

Even in Resident Evil 2,that little "eating scene" was better than just "gameover" *loads title screen*

 

I want the player's response to go from "*sigh* gameover,oh well" to

"Oh my God! All those people died a horrible mutilated death 'cause I screwed up and got my skull smashed in by that berserkering Brute??"

Nevermind,I figured it out.You just make a small change to "Scene Skill"
