Im completely new to this - so here are my first two question i have in mind at the moment:

1) How can i define a point in my own dungeon to end a game, to say "congratulation, levels done" ? which item or tile is necessary ?
2) How can i define a Game Over screen when falling into traps ? Right now , when falling into, the screen gets dark but the game is not over and there is no game over screen.

thanks for help in advance.

Well I can tell you that you are seeing the black screen when you fall into the pit because it causes a level transition similar to stairs, but if you don't have a level defined below your current one, or there are walls and not a level then you end up in the "black screen."

Not sure how you would right a script to cause a "game over" screen.

For the "game over" screen, you can just "kill" your party, but perhaps violent technique

For the "Win" screen, I think you can place a trigger that stop the party, spawning a visual effect ( like particles + flash ) and showing a message "You finished the level".

To get a proper ending, you can use the function Also check for the GameMode section in the Scripting Reference, there might be some other helpful things that you could fiddle with.

I haven't tried it out yet but I could imagine it works somewhat similar to the LoG1 cinematics, see here: http://www.grimrock.net/modding_log1/ho ... inematics/

Ok, but how can i connect the fall into the trap with a new level ?

Just create a new level under actual level [x,y,z] so new level will be [x,y,z+1] (from 0,0,0 to 0,0,1)

Thanks ! Added An invisible teleporter under a trap to beam me back to start position. 2nd solution: built a new level with a spin trap combined with a timer to get the game over screen.

Sorry to ask this question here but it's kind of related and I would have a solution if someone can answer this:

There's an isFalling() method on the party but shouldn't there be an onFalling event hook? How can isFalling ever be used?

Edit: duh, it's probably utilized with onMove...maybe? Once I stop drinking this beer I'll check it out.

Edit: duhx2, the onMove may not even work because the transition may get fired once it looks like you're falling. Still drinking beer.

Just place a floor trigger over the hole.

** It doesn't need to be a pit asset; it can be a -7 floor, with a trigger placed a few elevation levels down the drop.

LoG2 supports compressed videos.

But then you can't have the nifty open trap "doors". Just got another beer.
