(SOLVED) Hide Gallery Until Player Completes A Route

[amaturemanga]

Hello im trying to modify my main menu so that the option on the main menu to go to the Gallery screen is not visible as an option on the main menu until the player completes a route. I managed to do that sort of by going to my script creating the variable completedRoutes and setting it to 0

Code: Select all

init:
    $ completedRoutes = 0

then i went to my navigation screen and added this if statement

Code: Select all

 if completedRoutes > 0:
            
            textbutton _("Gallery") action NullAction()
        

you'll notice for now i set it to NullAction as right now i wanted to just make it so it appears only when completed routes is greater then 0. In my script i added this code so that completedRoutes = 1

Code: Select all

scene black
    e "Hello World!"
    $ completedRoutes += 1

    return

But when it returns to the main menu Gallery is still not visible. Not sure what im doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

When you step back to the main menu you step out of the game you was playing and values saved during that play is no longer available to you. So competedRoutes is now at its original value (0)

You could possibly use persistent data.
