[Solved] A way to advance through the scenes playing a minigame?

[Adrian_DVL]

Hi mates!

Here's the thing: I have a minigame built on a modal screen, so while the minigame is working, the player can't go to the next images in the background.
Now, the minigame has several phases, so the player has to win a certain amount of "points" in order to win. So I want the game to go through the scenes that are showing in the background as the player wins each point. I mean, if I have the VN part of the game like this:

Code: Select all

scene img1
pause
scene img2
pause
scene img3
...

I'd like the game to detect when the player earns a point in the minigame (i.e. in a completely different label) and to advance to the next scene and show the next image beyond each pause. Is that possible? Is there any function or something that allows me to do that?

easy, put something like this inside your minigame

Code: Select all

modal True
timer .5 repeat True action If(points > 100, Return())

a return inside a modal screen does the same thing as if the player have clicked

Wow! I didn't know that! Sounds promising, the problem is that it gave me a traceback saying that a timer must have an action supplied (which actually has, I don't understand the error). Another problem might be that all what happens in the minigame, it happens in several labels, not in the screen. The screen is just the visual representation of it. The label, simplifying it a lot, is something like this:

Code: Select all

label mini(mst=1):
	...
	label mini_loop:
		...
		label turns:
		...
	$ memgoodp += 1  <--- This is the variable I want the game to react to and change the scene!
        $ memtotalp += 1

As you can see, it is inside the second label where I want the game to progress through the scenes, that's why I was asking for some kind of function. I didn't even understand why the timer didn't work, though.

You do not need to manually scene/show/replace the background image, you can just have it as a dynamic...

Code: Select all

default memgoodp = 0
image dynamic_background = "images/background_[memgoodp].png"

label start:
    scene dynamic_background ## showing "images/background_0.png"
    "..."
    $ memgoodp += 1
    ## now showing "images/background_1.png" automagically

And here's the solution I was expecting- Thank you very much! Dynamics always solve problems!
