How to disable saving temporarily?
So basically what I'm trying to do is prevent the user from accessing the saves/loads/quicksaves during a minigame so that they don't cheat. So far from what I've seen, it's possible to completely the remove the saves/loads screen by removing everything under the screen label that corresponds to it. However, I haven't seen any temporary solutions. How could I possibly prevent the player from saving or loading or accessing these screens for a limited amount of time?

Re: How to disable saving temporarily?
During the part you want to disable saving, set the variable "_game_menu" to None and disable keybinds for the escape key, and probably disable the quick menu also with $quick_menu = False
Then once the player is past the point you want to disable saving, re-enable them.
The default _game_menu is save
