Hello there!!

I am trying to achieve a effect where the game over screen would show a random message. How can I do that?

and249 In your final build, locate and open the file "gameover.fpi" under languagebank\english\gamebank\ *** NAME OF YOUR GAME***
This folder contains all the .fpi files that setup and run the necessary files to play your game. Don't confuse gamewon.fpi with gameover.fpi
Open the gameover.fpi with notepad (or whatever) and you'll noticed the default hud and background images along with the timer.

You can replace those with your own images & adjust the timer to meet your needs
With a little code change one can also play a video if need be

I looked at your question again and I see I misunderstood you. You want a random image to appear.
You can take the same gameover.fpi file and change a few commands for this. Here is one I threw together, but not tested.


I used three images for this, you can add more of course. You can see the path for an image and give it your own names.
The "random" command will randomly choose which image to show on screen before the timer kills it.

Note: this is a scripting question. In the future use the Script Forum to post a script question.
Makes it easier for others to find

Thanks for your response, ncmako!! I will check out the script you provided me with and let you know whether it works or not.
