How do I make a checkpoint

Hello all

I am not sure if it is the good title but I will try to describe what I am trying to do.

Basically I am doing an endless runner game. What I am looking, is to give choice to player to continue the game once he losts one time and continue to collect coins.

So what I did

• Create a layer called continue
• this layer contain the window with buttons (watch a video to continue or pay 100 coins to continue); this layer initial value is invisible
• create a global variable called continuecheck

So

The global variable continuecheck = 0

When player dies first time and continuecheck = 0 ===> set continuecheck to 1 and set layer to visible

player has 10 seconds to choose

Once the countdown get to 0, set continuecheck to 0 and layer invisible and go to game over page

The problem

According to what describe, logically the global variable continue check has to be 0 for layout to show.

So when the game go to game over page, continuecheck is 0 at that time but when the player go back to the game the continue window does not show anymore when he dies.

I have to close the game and restart for the window to show.

Did anyone has an idea how to fix or a better way to do that?

Sorry I hope I am not to confusing for my description

Thank you for taking the time to read

Do you reset continuecheck and countdown timer at the start of the layout/level?

Try running your game in debug mode (ctrl-F4) and see what's going on with this variable, countdown variable, layer visibility etc.

If nothing helps, share your capx.

Hello Dop2000

Thank you so much for your hint.

Actually the issue was the global variable coutndown which I had to reset to 10 seconds when the layout starts

Thanks again
