When do ego's die?

[Jelle]

When I've compared the sierra-games with the fan-made, I've noticed that in the s-games ego's die a lot more. But when do Ego's die?

* Falling of a clip
* Being eaten by a monster of some kind
* Drinking / eating poison
* Being killed by some evil (wo)man

Other ideas?

[Allen]

There are other things, such as falling in acid, losing all your money, burn to death... Play all the Sierra games over and over and you'll get the idea

also if you do something that will mean you can't finish the game.  Like if you get locked up by the police or somebody gets too far away from you and you can't reach them.. or something like that.

Crashing with your car, getting hit by a heavy obstacle, being humiliated in front of someone(PQ1 ), drowning, electrocution, unsuccesfully making/using a spell(KQ3), etc...
Everything you can imagine can be a dead sequence.

hehheh,

'strangle yourself'

Heehee, the 'pee on the tree'-command (as a kid, when I got stuck in a game, I walked around, trying to pee on a tree ):

<pee on tree>
  "You pee on the tree"
  "Hmmm, why do you notice that wire just now?"
  "There's a sign at the wire:"
  "DANGER: 2000V"
 spark spark



(hmmm, let's implement a 'pee on the tree'-command in Little Pirate )

When do ego's die?

When I kill him!

[Joey]

nick, how do u get arrested by another cop on pq? (im not supposed to be on. instead of me always announcing this, if i come on on monday-thursday, i am sneaking it, unless i had that day off from school.)

[Chris Cromer]

A cop doesn't lock you up, a prisoner does. If you don't do things right when putting him in his cell he locks you in the cell and escapes.

[Grover]

Not keeping your breath minty fresh  (LSL1, of course)

[Nick Sonneveld]

I wasn't talking about just police quest.   you get arrested in larry at least.    (won't mention where)

[Andrew_Baker]

When death_type>0, of course.

But serioiusly, in one of the Police Quest games, you can go on a killing spree.

[Blacki]

Yeah.  In police quest three, but that's not agi.  If you shoot someone you're not supposed to, it's game over and it shows the front page of a newspaper saying cop goes on killing spree or something...

[Kon-Tiki]

When 'call(94);'

Since I'm working on Naturette 3, I should find an original way to get Naturette to die. Dying when falling off the cliff is common in many fan-made games.
