Adding a switch to the Preferences to change a variable?

#1 Post by nevarran »

Hi, guys.
Is it possible to add a switch that changes a variable to the Preferences of my game? With 2 or 3 options (just like the "Skip").
I want to offer a choice to the players at the beginning of the game, but I would also like them to be able to change it on the fly as the game progresses.
I searched the web, but couldn't find anything on the subject.
Thank you.
