I'm pretty handy with a hex-editor, so you could send the save game to me (zipped, please) and I might be able to fix it.

Or... download the Ultimate Cheat and quickly do the Refill Life cheat before you die, if you have time.

The ultimate cheat wont work, &life allready equals 0, but takes a second or so to go down to 0 (when he saved) when he loads, it's all ready 0, and he dies right away.

Try this:

Enter this in notepad:

void die( void )

{

&life = &lifemax;

kill_this_task();

}

and save it as DINFO.c in your PotAstory folder. Now load your game. Make sure you get rid of the file afterwards or you'll be inmortal forever...

Hmmmm... Are you sure this is his problem? I haven't played much of POTA, but I would have made the trap script so it has "script_attach(1000);" to the spawned script, and something like

loop:

&life -= 1;

wait(100);

goto loop;

That would be better against cheats, so if that is the problem i have only one solution, apart from changing the save or the compiled script: Make a similar script, that adds life instead of removing it. But i guess i am wrong, so i should not have written this post anyway. (BRØHØHØHØHØHØHØHØHØHØØØØØ!!!!)
