Hello!
I'm having a problem!
The game I'm working on currently operates on a chapter -> chapter basis, where the user must play through one chapter to unlock the other (for release purposes). But I'm having a problem with user choices being remembered after the user has returned to the chapter selection screen after playing through a chapter.
I have tried using persistent data, but this brings up some issues, mainly with if the user selects both options (re-rolling, ect...) the results of said choices get messed up further down the line. This also prevents the user from having multiple play-through's going at the same time.
Is there a way to do this without using persistent variables?
Thanks!

Have the chapter selection screen be part of the game...? Is there a reason you would HAVE to pull it out of a saveable part of gameplay and into the start menu?

I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't though of doing it that way!
I'll give it a try, thanks
