Records.

First things first, I want to apologize if this is in the wrong place. =p

I want to make a custom title screen that has an option that lists Records of your playthroughs. A type of thing that works for a game that wants you to play multiple times rather than one big file. Each New Game being different.

So you start a New Game. Finish it with x Score with Weapons A and B. I want the records of that to be listed on an option of the title screen. Like, if you find Weapon A, it will show up on a slot on Records, and if you hover over it will list how many times you have used it. I would also love to have a Death Count as well.

The issues with this:

Each file has its own set of switches and variables. When you start a new game, it is all is set at zero. Where this gets complex is having switches in a file effect data outside of the file, like on the title screen. I don't know if this is even possible. Or if it's possible with scripting or not.

I would much appreciate help.

It sounds like you would need a custom script for this, in which case you'd probably be best off posting in the script request forum.

yes, you'll need a custom script - but you also need to rethink your workflow.


Using variables to store data outside the game structure is not the best option, simply because those have to be overwritten with data from different games.


I suggest using them during the game, but upon game over have the data written into different files, and read those files for your record display.


However, that is something you need to discuss with whoever will make the script for you.

Thanks for the much needed help. I did not know if I needed to have a Script for this or not... Sounds like I do. =p

However, that gameover idea sounds like this could be doable and possibly worth it in the end. Just might also be something I have to drop. :\
