Theoretically, you could have a firefight with checkpoints, certainly better than dieing and having to start over. (or maybe not ). So I could use game_save to save the game after a wave is exterminated. This would mean that the game would save, because it would be safe after all of teh enemies are dead. Although it would be much nicer to have a lives script though. Who thinks that would be a good option in a firefight?

Lives script much better. I'm trying to get a simpler version going cos the current one is really wierd

Ok i scrapped the simpler version, it was wierder.

Here is a less simplified version:

(script continuous life_lost
(set cheat_deathless_player true)
(sleep_until (<= (unit_get_health (unit (list_get (players) 0))) 0.01) 1)

(player_enable_input false)
(fade_out 1 0 0 15)
(sleep 30)
(set lives (- lives 1))
(object_teleport (unit (list_get (players) 0)) hide)
(fade_in 0 0 0 60)
(set load_available true)
(sleep_until (= load_available false))
(object_teleport (unit (list_get (players) 0)) spawn)
(player_add_equipment (unit (list_get (players) 0)) none true)
(sleep 30)
(player_add_equipment (unit (list_get (players) 0)) loadout1 true)
(fade_in 0 0 0 60)
(player_enable_input true)
(sleep 50)
)
(script continuous gameover
(if (= lives 0) (game_lost)))
(global short lives 7)

I haven't tested this yet so it might not work or their might be some bugs

Oh, that's the weird fading colors one from Firefight Fissurefall. Mmm, I really didn't like the fading thing.

then fix it. it'll take 2 seconds
