Chapter Select Screen Doesn't Work

#1 Post by Crimson Sugar Std »

While working on my visual novel, I decided that I wanted to include a chapter select screen in the main menu of the game. That part hasn't been an issue, and I was able to make part of it work, but not all of the elements actually function properly. As in, when you choose to go to prologue, it works fine, but when you choose to start at Chapter One instead, everything works for the most part, except the quick menu at the bottom of the screen goes away. If I cannot rectify this issue, then the player will not be able to save their progress if they choose to use this function rather than loading from a save, or do anything else that the quick menu allows. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance!

Here's a screenshot of the code, because I don't know how to include it here properly:

(I'm probably missing something very obvious, or just doing something horribly wrong, but I'm new at this, so I still have a lot to learn...)

Try using Start("label_name") instead of jump. For empty actions you use NullAction() and not Null.
When pasting your code in here you can use the [code]your codes...[/code] tags to format it properly in your thread.
