a Q about Bosses

Hey, what do you do to make the bosses not restart the game after you kill them? and is there anyway that after you kill them it just ends the level.

Thanks,

Well if you kill them, it does end the level, heh.

you can set the boss (sprite) palette to 21 to make a "miniboss", when you kill the miniboss it won't restart the game, but it will not end the level

bye

well you cannot make them end the level directly but with some small modifications to the con you can make them drop a keycard when they die an then build the level so you need the keycard to reach the exit

There's always the ever-so-scary (/sarcasm) eduke route. You can manually set the lotag of sectors to 32768, the end level tag. So you'd make the boss set a gamevar ifdead, then tell the game to set the sector of the player to lotag 32768. Might have problems if you have water sectors or lotagged sectors near the boss though.
