Custom story autosave points? - HeadyBoy - 08-02-2012
How can I make it so that the game just saves automatically as you go through it?

AutoSave();

Put the Autosave function Zereb0 posted under "void OnEnter()". That's the most common way to auto save.

So this would make it so that it's a kinda like.. Checkpoint, in case the player dies?
RE: Custom story autosave points? - Adny - 08-02-2012
No; checkpoints make checkpoints when the player dies xD
Here's the function for that:
CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);
Use this function whenever you spawn a monster, or when the player enters an area where he can die from environmental reasons.
Hope that helped.

Tried doing this, it works, but instead of taking me to the time period BEFORE I unlocked a door, walked in, and spawned a monster, the door had already been opened and the monster was not there. As if it just teleported the player.
What have I done wrong? D:

You have to find a way to reset the whole process if you want the player to do the same thing again after he died.
