Changing storyline on second playthrough?

[resiate]

What I'm trying to do is add options that only appear after the player has completed the game once already, that lead into a deeper "secret" storyline on the second runthrough. A lofty goal, to be certain - is there some way I can make this work (without just copy-pasting the entire first section of the game into a different place)?

First of all, thank you, this was much easier than expected and I appreciate it greatly.

Second holy shit I am a giant fan of CooT. Thank you for your time and also your games.

Ugh, sorry, DON'T use default! Instead use persistent:

Before your game starts:

Code: Select all

init python:
    if persistent.first_playthrough_completed is None:
        persistent.first_playthrough_completed = False

.....

At the end of your game, and before the "return", put this:

Code: Select all

$ persistent.first_playthrough_completed=True

.....

Now go through your game and whenever parts of the secret storyline appears you can put things like:

Code: Select all

 

"I walked along the road."

if persistent.first_playthrough_completed: #this part and whatever is indented underneath it will only show up if the variable is true

  "I saw a secret path appear."

  menu:

    "Walk along the secret path.":
      jump take_secret_path # if you wish, you can add a label with this name and put the rest of this branch of the story underneath it somewhere else in your code

     "Stay on the road.":
       pass


# continue rest of the main storyline

Sorry about the goof, I was getting flummoxed over trying to figure out some other code last night so my mind was on default.
