I need your imput!

Please, all I need you to do is answer a question or two.

Lets say in choose your own adventure you get really really far and then you faint.
Having a map feature would allow you to hit continue then click the map and go back to where you were.

Do you think that the player should have to re-visit all of the tasks and options to get back to where they were, or is a shortcut ok?

Would you mind if there was no map feature?


If your project was oversized, would you cut out a feature such as this?

Thank you for your input.

Re: I need your imput!

That's exactly what my dad said. Thanks.
I'm thinking about cutting out the map since that takes up, maybe around 5 mb?

Re: I need your imput!

If you have items, they should be left behind where you were. You would have to walk back there. Of course, there should be checkpoints.

You can't figure out what the checkpoints will be, or you can't figure out how to program it?

Have a variable "Checkpoint". It's either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Each one represents where you do when you faint. When you start the game Checkpoint is 1. In the sprite of the checkpoint do:

(When Flag Clicked)
(Wait Until [touching (player)])
(Set [Checkpoint] to [checkpoint number])

When you faint,

Upon Fainting,
(If [(Checkpoint) = (1)])
---(Go to [corresponding checkpoint])
(If [(Checkpoint) = (2)])
---(Go to [corresponding checkpoint])
(If [(Checkpoint) = (3)])
---(Go to [corresponding checkpoint])
etc.

Will that help?
