Start New Game

[Giuseppe]

Hi
Sorry my english again.
I have a problem.

I personalized menu with: New Game - Load and Exit.
I play and I want restart the game, exit and i return in personalized menu and click a New Game. The project restart but when I'm at the point where I stopped, don't restart very well because the hotspot previously clicked
are disabled. Seems that the game is paused and not stopped.
There'is a solution?
if you do not understand well, put sample images.

Thanks

I'm guessing that you've used this tutorial to create your Main Menu page? --

I'm also guessing that you're using scripting to write to an INI file for some aspects of your game? If so, when your player clicks New Game, the INI file is still there. I think that you will need to reset the information in your INI file(s?) to some null value when the player clicks New Game. This will be different, of course, for the information in each INI file, but the basic structure is -

Code: Select all

Action.WriteINI FILENAME, SECTION, KEY, VALUE

You could then use Action.GoToFrame to take you to the first frame of the game.

If you can give more information, perhaps someone better at coding than I can give you better advice.

Where is INI file?

By Default, the INI file is located in the "external" folder under your project where AdventureMaker was installled.

...\Projects\<projectname>\External\

There in not there!

My apologies, Giuseppe, if what I said was confusing.

Writing to an INI file is a technique used in some of the "custom save-load" techniques that have been discussed on the forums. Writing to an INI file IS NOT a part of that tutorial.

Since you were having trouble, I thought that perhaps you were using an INI file somewhere in your game. If you are not using scripting to write to an INI file, then I do not know why you are having this problem.

I think you have to reset the variables:
