Lesson 8: Handling player death
Video Notes
Our player has to meet their end at some point. In this lesson, we’ll handle the player dying.
Corrections:
There’s a small bug in the video where you can still shoot while the Player is dying. Luckily, there is an easy fix. You can change this line:
if event.is_action_pressed("fire") and ammo > 0:
to:
if event.is_action_pressed("fire") and ammo > 0 and active == true:

CollisionShape’s mask for thePlayAreato collide with the Player as well. Good find!
