[SOLVED]How can I use the player location?

[Mord87]

Hello!

I would like to use the player location. I want the player to take a selfie in her room. Her room is a label.
the player already opened her mobile phone in her room. The player on the room label and show screen mobile.
and I want to put a textbutton on the mobile to take a selfie but only in the bedroom.

if #player in the bedroom#:
textbutton "Take a selfie" action SetVariable("selfie", 1)

I hope it is clear.
Thank you

I would use a variable to track player location, i.e when you call or jump to the location label, update the variable to the current location. Then you can check that variable, and only show the text button and the selfie option if it matches. Hope that made sense....

Hi!

It makes sense and I was thinking of this option. The problem with it, it is a lot of extra writing to write for each jump the label names cos in the future I want to add different locations for selfies and other things. I can make your way but I was hoping there is some code to check the actual label the player on.
Thank You for your help anyway!

that why you make notes by using the # sign so you know what they are for something like this

Code: Select all

# this for the bathroom label
label bathroom:
     a "hello there"

That is one reason my label for the location is the same as my name for the location. I set the location before actually moving to it with a simple variable, like

Code: Select all

$ location = "loc_mcbr"

then return to my main game loop. In the main game loop I have

Code: Select all

call expression (location)

Which then calls the block for whatever location it is, since I use that same "loc_mcbr" for the label as well.

Not sure how well i explained that, since I'm just getting home after a very, very long work day.

I honestly surprised my earlier answer made any sense, I answered from my phone while on break
