Ok my menu system is workin great, but now what i need is a simle method of making chests, and making them one time accessable, without using Global Variables or strings. Makng it so that i can add as many chests as i want, and the same set of events will have the same effect of opening that chest one time.
Widgetscreate a list of actions for the chest object and just duplicate it over your map.
is that an extension?
Ok but how do i make it so that when i leave a frame and come back to the same one it will still be open? I know I sound like a n00b but im not, ive been using the program for about 2 yrs now, but i havent tried somthing like this before, i want to make it so that i dont have to use global variables to make the chests stay open.
why not make the object global, set alt val A. to 1 - 0, 1 being an opened state and 0 being a closed state?
When u come back to the frame the chest should be open.
Why don't you want to use global vars or strings?Originally Posted by ZayLong
You have shot yourself in the foot unless you write the settings to a file on then end of the frame..

beacuze using global values is too tedius, and if i want to make alot of treasure chests then there are letters in the alphabet then im screwd.
you coukd use an array then i suppose. this may combat the problem. spread a value through the chests at the start of the application/level and then use the alt value of the chest in the array and denote 1 or 0 for open or closed
...you do know you can have more then those A-Z global values, right?
Click on the application in your toolbar thing, then the tab that looks like the events screen, then add new value. you can add as much as you want.
Be careful with that though, if you start renaming the global values (like I`ve done quite a few times before) and plan on saving them to an editable file like an .ini it becomes a hassle to figure out which value in the file affects which. Often ruining your gameplay if an unchangeable value gets changed between play.
Just a tip.
