How do you check if a player has died? I am making a short level and I need to check if the player dies so they move onto the next level. The only way I can think of how to do it is by running a loop that constantly checks if the players health is equal to or lower than 0, but I don't know how to write that. I don't have a lot of knowledge about acs, so if it is some sort of a complex way, if you could explain it I would appreciate it :D

No need for crude hacks, there is a DEATH script type specifically for this kind of thing.

The mechanism of action is that the script will be executed after player dies. Affecting factors would be the factors that you define. If you have quesrions, you have to be more specific.
