Save Window: Opening at Important Points

#1 Post by Dis »

I want to ask if it is possible to put an option in the engine’s preferences menu like the one in Tsukushite Agechau 4 (I'm Gonna Serve You 4).

(The first one on the picture above.)

When turned on, if we reach an important part in the story, like a menu or a girl selection,

it automatically brings up the save menu and after saving , it automatically returns to the game, or if we don't want to save, we can get back to the game with the right muse button like in the Ren’py engine.

Can it be done in Ren’py, and if yes, how?
Sorry if this question has already been asked.

Well, it's pretty easy to open the save window.

Code: Select all

$ renpy.call_in_new_context("_game_menu", "save_screen")
Adding new preferences is a little more complicated, as it depends on which layout is handling preferences.
