Animated Save System
Introduction
So now that you might have read my Save Point Tut, lets take it a step further and add some animation and other goodies to the system. And like before make sure you disable the Save from the Menu by clicking the ALLOW/DISALLOW SAVING in the EVENT COMMAND window (try and disable it in the very first EVENT in your game.
Setting Up The Animated Save Point
1) Pick where you want the Save Point at and pick the following GRAPHIC: 198 SUPPORT 06 (Top row; pick the first image).
2) Now in the NEW EVENT window check the box in the OPTIONS area (found in the lower left corner) and make sure you check the box that says: MOVE ANIMATION.
3) Now click the <> in the large white box to your right. The EVENT COMMAND window will pop up.
4) Now click the MESSAGE button and type: âDo You Wish To Save Your Progress?â (type it with out the â â) then click OK.
5) Now click the SHOW CHOICES button and then click OK.
6) Now right below the [YES] HANDLER click the <>
7) Click TAB NUMBER 3 in the event command window and then click the OPEN SAVE MENU button.
8) Now right below the [NO] HANDLER click the <>
9) Click TAB NUMBER 1 and then click END EVENT PROCESSING then click OK.
And now you have a Animated Save Point.
