need help w/ savepoints

[ken_adams]

I used the savepoint tutorial on this site and erased the "s5 = Save" from the menu screen in the script.  It took away the save option from the menu like I wanted and I could still save from a savepoint, but now my end game choice isn't working in the menu.

Why did you want to do that for.... (I will have to read this Tutorial to see if I can help)...

Back in a few.

I wanted to make a game so that you had to use savepoints to save.  I still want the "end game" choice to work in the menu, i just didn't want the "save" option in the menu because it would still let me save wherever I was.

make end game s5 instead of s6

[ken_adams]

I did that already......I just dont understand what is wrong w/ it.  Here is the section i changed:

Code Select Expand


 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # * Main Processing
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def main
   # Make command window
   s1 = $data_system.words.item
   s2 = $data_system.words.skill
   s3 = $data_system.words.equip
   s4 = "Status"
   s5 = "End Game"
   @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5])
   @command_window.index = @menu_index
   # If number of party members is 0
   if $game_party.actors.size == 0
     # Disable items, skills, equipment, and status
     @command_window.disable_item(0)
     @command_window.disable_item(1)
     @command_window.disable_item(2)
     @command_window.disable_item(3)
   end


I dont know what else I need to do to it...It's in the  Scene_Menu section.

HOLD ON a MIN.

You wanted to create a save point and you used a script to do this?

You can do this with no script.

Just create an event that has the following in it:

However: If you are looking to get ride of the Save in the menu then...post me the link to this Tut/script so I may use it...

just go to where you see the game over is taking affect and when it says menu option s6 is pressed then you change it to s5

@Jack Sparrow: I used events for the savepoint I made with the tut.  Then I got rid of the "save" selection in the menu by deleting "s5=Save" from the scripts so that you would need the savepoints to save.   I then changed the "s6=End Game" to "s5=End Game".  But now my "end game" selection doesn't work in my menu.  It will still show up, but it just won't let me select it.
