Major update: Four new actions

Post by Unas »

4 new actions have been added.
Here are explanations about each of them :
  • Reveal a place's intro conversation. The meaning is quite explicit : using this, you make sure an intro conversation will be seen next time you visit the corresponding place.
    Tip : if you use that inside of the intro conversation itself, then it will be played each time the place is visited.
  • Hide a place's intro conversation : obviously, that's the opposite. You can disable a place's intro conversation with it.
  • Set Game over redirection : Allows to change the game's behaviour on Game Over.
    Normal behaviour is ending the game and writing "Game over", like it currently does. That behaviour will be reset if you use that action with an empty parameter.
    But if you indicate a message's id number as the parameter, then the player will be redirected to that message when he loses all his life points.
    That redirection is managed as a variable, which means you can change it as many times as you want in your trial : the last one the player has activated will take effect when he loses his life points.
  • End the game : Allows to manually end the game from any point of the trial. In the future - when I'll have implemented the ability to group trials by series -, it will also display a link to the next part if there is one.
