Problem with in-game guide

[zabuzaeldemonio]

Greetings, I am doing an in-game guide. It is a visual guide that marks the way with circles (very similar to that of School days). The problem is that I don't know how to make the path that the player follows. I have thought about making a variable counter, but in that case it would affect all routes. Any ideas ?
Here you have a visual example.

And here my code to show that (but with issues)

Code: Select all

In this code all works fine, but when the player advance a lot, all the previous circles are gray, and there should only be one gray line, indicating the current path of the player

What's with mecanica variable and other variables in the condition?
I think your best bet is to set more flags or variables (boolean), I mean each path should have its own flags so that you can recreate the condition more specifically. Which most likely to result in other paths not being affected.

Are you relating to lock the previous one that the player plays?

[zabuzaeldemonio]

In the image example you can see three circles, yellow is normal, red means that the player is already there and gray means that has already been there. So in my code I try to use analyze that, buts its kinda hard

I use variables in each decision, so I can analyze where the guideline is. The problem is that I don't know how to leave the trail that indicates the path the player has taken.

If variables can do.. you need an if and elif that changes the trail that player has taken, like a gray color for example that they completed that guide. I cannot give some examples today so..

It doesn't seems so hard. Use a list and indexes.
the index is the scene id (first scene index 0, second scene index 1, ...), then assign a default value of 0 (not seen), and 1 (there) or 2 (end of the scene, so already seen once ) in the labels.
Then, in such screen, cycle with a for cycle in the whole list, and show accordingly.

The harder thing to grasp is that you don't actually need to put such event id in any "storywise" order.
