Heads Up Display
Kismet: Heads Up Display Life Counter
Upon the player spawning, this Kismet checks the number of lives the player character has. If the player vharacter has lives remaining, it updates the H.U.D. information. If the number is zero then it will remove the player from game and play the game over movie.
Kismet: HUD Attachment and Respawn Location
Upon the player character re-spawning, this Kismet checks the last trigger location activated by the player character. The character is respawned at that last trigger location. The H.U.D. is attached upon loading of the game level. The ambient audio file is also loaded at this time.
