well i made a version of this but instead of taking away a life (which we dont really have any control over unless i kill the player - which ruins the "healing" effect) you just need to not die for 5 seconds once you reach 25% HP (both delay and HP threshold can be adjusted in the script)
but you can also make it so that it'll heal to a certain amount of max HP (because getting a free full heal might be too much)
we also can't force the player to lie down or not move and such (like when you die) so it's not really a hinderance but best i can do for now i think
if you really want the player to lose a life then you can change the line
Quote: "SetPlayerHealth(max_HP)"
to
Quote: "HurtPlayer(e,g_PlayerHealth)"
but it makes him scream and such... i didn't like it
(also uncomment the Checkpoint(e) line otherwise you wont spawn at that location)
there is a slight bug with the HP if you die while healing in that sometimes it'll still trigger the heal (although i tried to stop this)
it just seems to be a quick visual issue though as seen in the video (at the end)
as always let me know if you have any issues or need any help / changes
