[SOLVED] Add a variable to determine if "save and load" feature has been used

[AsHLeX]

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this question.
I was wondering if it was possible, using Ren'py, to add a variable to determine if the player has used the "save and load" feature.
What I want to do is similar to Witch House, in which there is a secret ending if the player makes it to the end of the game without using the save and load feature (mostly to reward players who don't save scum aka saving and loading to achieve a desirable result).
For this to occur, my question is, is it possible to define a certain variable e.g. save_and_load, so that I can do something like...

Code: Select all

if save_and_load == false: ## never used the save/load feature
	jump true_end

Thanks again!!

Hi, AsHLeX,
You can do something like the following code to count how many times the player loaded in current playthrough:

Code: Select all

default load_count = 0

label after_load:
    $ load_count += 1

Then check if load counter is zero at the end:

Code: Select all

If load_count == 0:
	jump true_end

Although, do you really expect the player to play one run non-stop (without breaks). You probably want to have 'single' autosave so player can leave the game and continue later. In this case you need additionally check if the autosave was used and avoid increasing the counter for such loads.
