Can I make my game autosave the player's progress?

[nanashine]

I want to make the player's progress autosave in my game.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Ren'Py has an autosave feature already included. Did you mean to ask how to manipulate it?

Yes. I wanted to know how to use it.
Like, when the person leaves the game it will autosave without them having to do it themselves.

Do I use "define config.autosave_on_quit = True"? Where should I place it?

Thanks.

Sorry. I'll have to let someone else answer that as I disabled autosave in my projects.

No problem. Thanks for your attention

You can also use persistent variables..

Code: Select all

$ persistent.Route1done=True
if persistent.Route1done==True:
    "Blah"

These variables stay as they are/retain their values even through out different game playthroughs

While looking through the configuration variables for various other reasons, I figured I'd come back and answer this as best I can.

Personally, I would place that inside options.rpy somewhere. Exactly where doesn't matter, but make sure it has no indentation at all.
