Menu/Character Selection Question

Post by fusion »

Hi everyone....I have a question regarding the character select scripts. Rather than having Prev and Next buttons at the Character select menu page, is it possible to show 2 Characters/Images on the same page and having the user simply click on which character they would like to use (rather than using prev and next buttons)? If possible, where should I start...Thanks in advance for any direction....

I don't think that's possible. Not with the 'Character selection' menu screen.

However, RF usually offers different workarounds to these problems. The difficulty menu, for example, can have three different buttons. When the user chooses a difficulty, a variable called DifficultyLevel is set (Easy = 1, Medium = 2, Hard = 3). All scripts can then read this variable.
You could use the buttons 'easy' and 'medium', replace their images with the character images and set up a script that checks the difficulty level when the game starts, and make the it activate the selected character. That way user could then pick a character simply by clicking on the image.
Pain is only psychological.
