Changing the intro animation

[gaoldart]

My idea is to change what the main character (Which appears on the main menu) says as soon as the game starts, so, when you open the game for the second time what he says is something different. I know i have to use persistent data but... i still have no idea exactly how... any ideas?

I'm using custom menus (and some pretty old code ^^; ), so mine would look a bit different from how you have it, but basically this is what I have:

You need to have a certain persistent set up at the point of the game after which you want it to change the next time the person loads the game, for example pasting in your code a line like this:

Code: Select all

    $ persistent.ending = "Ending 1"

(It has to be somewhere in the code just after the thing/event which you want to be what causes the menu to change.)

Then, in your main menu, you put something to have the two different possibilities based on whether the player has gone past that event or not:

Code: Select all

  
    if persistent.ending == "Ending 1":
        jump main_menu_afterending1
    else:
        jump main_menu_default           

In my case, I have several custom menus for another reason, but you could put something else in that line other than a jump, like a different image showing up if they've completed ending1, or something like that.
