goto GAME_MENU

The problem is I can’t get my script back to the main menu if that makes sense.

This is my Main menu

Please shair your opions

For the tappable, idk if this is how it has to be done or not but I use ‘goto label’ (:

Let me show u what I mean by that (:

MY SCRIPT =

label intro_menu
@zoom reset
INT. INTRO MENU_01

@overlay START_GBLACK create
&overlay START_GBLACK opacity 1 in 1
&overlay START_GBLACK shifts to 107 364 in zone 1
&overlay START_GBLACK scales to 1.000 1.000

&overlay SKIP_GBLACK create
&overlay SKIP_GBLACK opacity 1 in 1
&overlay SKIP_GBLACK shifts to 111 238 in zone 1
&overlay SKIP_GBLACK scales to 1.000 1.000

&overlay CUSTOMISE_GBLACK create
&overlay CUSTOMISE_GBLACK opacity 1 in 1
&overlay CUSTOMISE_GBLACK shifts to 78 123 in zone 1
&overlay CUSTOMISE_GBLACK scales to 1.000 1.000

tappable
“START_GBLACK” {
goto label start_chapter
} “SKIP_GBLACK” {
goto label end_chapter
} “CUSTOMISE_GBLACK” {
goto label customize_characters
}

label customize_characters
#CUSTOMISATION GOES HERE

label start_chapter
#START OF THE CHAPTER GOES HERE

label end_chapter
#CHAPTER ENDS HERE

END OF MY SCRIPT EXAMPLE!

So, as u can see my template is for Start, Skip & Customisation. U would have to change it to fit yours (:

If you mean you cant get the script to create the menu again, you need to send them back to the creation of the overlays + the background. So the label should be moved higher

Winteronepisode · March 28, 2021, 7:27pm

Meaning, after the recap

Strawbrie_Writes · March 28, 2021, 7:31pm

Okay, i’ll try your suggetions. Thank you

Strawbrie_Writes · March 28, 2021, 7:39pm

So i have done everything suggested to me but it still doesn’t work

ciaraxoxoc · March 28, 2021, 7:47pm

what’s the exact problem? It won’t let you tap on the overlay buttons?

Strawbrie_Writes · March 28, 2021, 7:52pm

When i finsh the recap i want to go back to the main menu but there is a problem.

Winteronepisode · March 28, 2021, 8:00pm

Try moving your label “GAME_MENU” up to the very beginning of the episode (before the background name)

Strawbrie_Writes · March 28, 2021, 8:01pm

I have already tried that

Winteronepisode · March 28, 2021, 8:02pm

Hmm… that should do it. I do the same thing in my story (slightly different sense, but all in all the same thing). I’m confused why it wouldn’t be working for you

Strawbrie_Writes · March 28, 2021, 8:04pm

I’ll try again tomorrow

ciaraxoxoc · March 28, 2021, 11:10pm

Try this and tell me if it works:

Strawbrie_Writes · March 29, 2021, 8:14pm

It still won’t work. Thank you for trying

Strawbrie_Writes · March 29, 2021, 8:17pm

Thank you to everyone that gave me ideas on how to fix my problem. I was finally able to fix the problem.

ciaraxoxoc · March 29, 2021, 8:19pm

what was the problem?

Strawbrie_Writes · March 29, 2021, 8:19pm

I think me trying the next day helped in a way, thank you.

Strawbrie_Writes · March 29, 2021, 8:21pm

Tbh i don’t really know, i just changed the game menu to lower case letters and moved it before my background.
