return to menu after script [solved]

[XxrenxX]

I've been posting a lot today but I am getting frustrated doing this alone.

So I have some side stories programmed into my game that are accessible via the extra's menu. However no matter what I try the game either crashes when it tries to return or it starts a new game, ignoring any menu's asked to go to.

here are some different codes I've tried. Am I at least on the right track? (each line a different variation I tried)

Code: Select all

return
return ("mainmenu") #Also tried with ("extra_screen") as well as empty ()
return () action ShowMenu("extra_screen")
action ShowMenu("extra_screen")
jump ShowMenu("extra_Screen")
jump("extra_Screen")
call_extra_screen
call("extra_screen")

I either have the game start a new game oran error saying invalid syntax.

From your previous thread, I'm guessing you're using the Jump action, which for this won't work. You can't return from a jump. You should use Start("label_name") instead and put return at the end of the script, which will return you to the main menu.

so instead of Jump("label") use Start("label") for the hotspot and the return function should act as intended?

Seems to be working. Can't believe I didn't think of that.
