I use the Demo combat system on the wiki, but since i cannot be killed, i need help on how to update the library so it actually kills you
Here's the code:

Here's the code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<library>
<!--
This library adds a basic magic system to quest. It allows for three types of spells:
nonattackspell: Instant effect
lastingspell: An on-going spell. These last until another spell is cast
attackspell: Instant effect, attacking anything of the "monster" type that is not dead
Attack spells must be of an element, and eight are already set up. Monsters
can be assigned to elements too; they will be immune to that element, but take
four-fold damage from the opposed element.
A "Magic" tab is added to the editor to make setting up spells and monsters as easy as possible.
-->
<!--
Adding new elements involves a bit of effort. This system requires that elements are added in pairs or opposites,
such as fire and frost.
1. Create a new type for both elements, named [elemem]_type
2. In the data section, the object element_struct needs both elements added to both "elements" and
"opposedelements", and for the latter you need to put them in both ways around (look at existing entries)
3. You need to add both elements to the tab, both for "monster" and for "attackspell". Again, see existing
entries.
-->
<!-- =================================================== -->
<!-- Templates -->
<!--
Using templates makes it easier to convert to other languages, but also for other users to word it how they want it.
When templates are in the library that uses them (as here) the way to change the language is to
modify the template in the library, so really the only benefit is that all the text is together here.
Also modify the default responses in the verbs!

15 Aug 2013, 05:10Ignore my comment that you used in your post, as Pixie's "Simple" Combat+Magic Library isn't set up in the same way as I set up "my" (it's based upon Pertex' Combat Library) combat coding.
------------------
Actually, I think Pixie's Library already covers this for you, so all you got to do, is this (to utilize Pixie's already built-in "game over ~ player dies" coding):
the only thing missing, is that you got to add all the attributes needed for your Player Objects (your "player" needs "life", ie "hitpoints", to be able to lose to zero or below, to lose the game, lol), so...
open up Pixie's Demo Game File, and see what code (attributes) has been added for the "player" Player Object, and do the same in your game.
from Pixie's Demo Game File, this is what it looks like:
so, in your game file, find the "player" Player Object coding:
<object name="player"> // beginning line of your "player" Player Object
// all of your "player's" attributes go in here (you'll have some already), so just add in your missing needed attributes here
</object> // ending line of your "player" Player Object
and add in the missing attributes* as seen above in the Player Object coding for Pixie's Demo Game File. You can of course change the values (amounts) to whatever you want.
*The missing needed to be added attributes:
Hopefully this will work.
