Hey guys...
I only know a little bit of RGSS - enough to edit a few things, but not enough to do something on the title screen. I'm not really sure if this will work, but hopefully a scripter can tell me. Currently, I have an edited Title Screen that has 4 options,
New Game
Continue
Mini Games
Shutdown
I have it so that when the user selects mini-games, he goes to a mini-game map with access to mini games of course. The New Game, continue, and shutdown options all work as well.
The thing I need help with is to get it so that once a player gets to a certain place in a game in one of the save files (preferably the end), he gets access to the mini games. If he is not far enough in the game, or hasn't started playing yet, the option for Mini Games is grayed out and cannot be used. I myself don't know enough RGSS to do this, but I imagine it would have something to do with a variable or a switch near the end of the game, that when switched on lets the option for Mini Games to be available in the main menu? Thanks a lot for anyone who can help me with this. Here is my current Scene_Title script.
