How to show what chapter the player is on?

[Pink_Juicy]

This is actually for my friend, xe wants to make a GUI sort of thing that shows what chapter the player is on. Like in the top left corner, it can say "Prologue" or "Chapter 1". I saw that they had done "show image" each time they wanted to state which chapter the player was on and it seemed like a hassle (sorry I can't explain it very well), but I just wanna make it simpler for my friend.

You can create a screen for this:

Code: Select all

screen chapter_name():
     text “[variable_name]” xpos 10 ypos 10

And update the variable in your label whenever the chapter name changes:

Code: Select all

$ variable_name = “Chapter 1”

This way all you have to do is show screen at start (it will stay there until hidden) and hide screen whenever needed:

Code: Select all

show screen chapter_name
