Problem with the choice of path (way or rute) in the game and lose quick_menu

[anel0001]

Hello!
Please help me.
I'm sorry if my English is a bit lame, it's not my native language.

How can I make sure that after the prologue, the player immediately gets to the menu (screen) of choosing a path (way or rute or love interest) in the game?

I created a screen that can be accessed from the main menu. There are heroes, a description of them. When you click on one of them, the screen of this character comes out - from here you can go to the gallery, add-ons and the first chapter. But for some reason, when I click on start playing - I lose quick_menu.

Please prompt me how I can solve these problems!

If your path-choosing screen shown from main menu, you should start the path via Start("label_name") action.

If its the game menu just use

Code: Select all

ShowMenu()

If you created a screen in the game menu, just use the same code above

Code: Select all

ShowMenu(screen=Name of your screen)

I need, as in mobile for example visual novels, after the prologue to choose the path (love interest).
I created a screen:

Code: Select all

screen mainstory():
    tag menu
    imagemap:
        ground "gui/caracter_selection.png" ##фон
        idle "gui/character_selection/character_selection_normal.png"
        hover "gui/character_selection/character_selection_hover.png"

        hotspot(1087, 586, 125, 125) action ShowMenu("main_menu")
        hotspot(26, 80, 535, 157) action ShowMenu("character_y_menu")
        hotspot(30, 244, 531, 152) action ShowMenu("character_m_menu")
        hotspot(29, 401, 533, 154) action ShowMenu("character_n_menu")
        hotspot(733, 77, 533, 157) action ShowMenu("character_h_menu")
        hotspot(737, 241, 532, 155) action ShowMenu("character_k_menu")
        hotspot(15, 583, 383, 117) action ShowMenu("character_introductions")

And from there you can, for example, choose a story line with K:

Code: Select all

screen character_k_menu():
    tag menu
    imagemap:
        ground "gui/character_selection/character_k_menu.png"
        hover "gui/character_selection/character_menu_hover.png"

        hotspot (195, 574, 379, 120) action ShowMenu("gallery_k") ##gallery
        #(832, 86, 382, 114) action Start("volume_k") ## Date Volume
        #(834, 209, 376, 109) action Start("1date") ## Sequel
        #(832, 329, 380, 104) action Start(2date") ## Date Scenario
        hotspot(1085, 577, 125, 125) action ShowMenu("mainstory") ##back for screen mainstory

I searched on the forum, but I can't find it.
Please help me.
