Welcome back again everyone in this one, we will be creating the layout for our game over menu. From our game over menu we want to be able to quit or restart the game. And this is meant to appear when our game timer runs out. Now, we are going to be implementing a basic health system and our player will be able to die if they incur too much damage from spinning fans or, or jets, that kind of thing those steam jets that can damage us and if that happens, we are going to be spawning them back at the beginning of the level. The only way that the player is going to quote unquote lose at this game to get the game over menu is if the timer runs out. Okay.

We have done a lot of the work needed for this menu in our previous video our level complete menu. So this one is going to be real simple. All we need to do is come under our UI folder. let's right click on it. Level complete menu and let's duplicate this. And let's just call this w BP underscore Game Over menu.

Now because it's game over, double click on this guy to open up. Because it's going to be game over. I'm going to zoom to fit here we do not need any sort of scoring summary, the player failed. So we can select this uniform Grid Panel and just delete that out go by by Now note that we've already got quit and restart buttons on here. So that is all well and good. The only thing we need to change here is the title of our screen.

So go ahead and select on your text title widget. And instead of it being a level complete, we can just have this read game over. And of course you can take some time to jazz up this screen however you want with any image widgets, etc. I'm not gonna do anything fancy for it for the time being so I'm just gonna Compile and Save. And guys that is literally going to do it all for this one. We will see you in the next one.
