I've been trying to make a bound for the past couple weeks only to discover an imminent halt caused by Wait Blocks.

An assosciate of mine told me to use Death-Counts, however I don't know what they are and he refuses to explain, could somebody on here explain how to use, and make said Death-Counts?



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Death counts are simply a place to store memory. Take a look at the wiki. http://www.staredit.net/wiki/Death_Counters

if you are running on fastest, 12 death counts=1 second if you are using hyper triggers, which i hope you are.

so you would set aside a unit for timers.
so if you wanted a 20 second timer, it would be 240 deaths of, say cantina

condition
-whatever it is-
action
set deaths for cantina to 240 for player

condition
player suffers at least 1 death of cantina
action
subtract 1 death of cantina for player



None.

You could also start from 0 and add up 1 instead of subtracting 1 and set the condition to player has suffered at least x deaths of unit. It's preference really, but I like adding up death counts because I've always done it that way.



None.

always subtracting 1 prevents you from going below 0, whereas if you always add 1, you'll probably want a "at most" condition rather than always.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
