Help on video and scrolling in a visual novel

[Link2link8]

I was wondering how to make a video appear at the beginning of the game when it boots up (before it goes to the main menu) and also if it's possible to make it so that videos can't be skipped (for example on accident)

One other issue I need help is how to step the game from going backwards, like when someone makes a choice in a game and goes forward then they would scroll backwards together back to cheat or make another choice, cause on my visual novel I can scroll from the very end to the very beginning and it annoys me when that happens...

-Check this out for info about the video:

-I'm not sure how to make it so they can't be skipped...

-There are a couple of ways to prevent rollback:
-The easiest way:

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Choice 1":
        $ renpy.block_rollback()
        "You picked choice 1"
    "Choice 2":
        $ renpy.block_rollback()
        "You picked choice 2"

Using the $ renpy.block_rollback() function prevents the player from scrolling back.

- Another way to do this is to put this in the options folder:

Code: Select all

init -1 python hide:

    ##This controls how far back the player can rollback, in this case: 5 times
    config.hard_rollback_limit = 5

This way, the player can only scroll back the amount of times you specify.
