Is there anyway I can create an SM64 map system in, MMF2?

Like, I enter a level, collect a certain amount of something like for example Stars, then keep those stars and when I collect a certain amount I go back to a map and the next level is now available?

Also I would like to know if there is a way so I can keep my inventory and health stats, like in Paper Mario

-sigh- also a way to save.

Stars: Set a variable counting the number of stars you already collected.
If variable stars is equal or larger than (for example 5), go to the map room and set a global alterable value (maybe want to call it something like Level X opened)
Example:

On the Map frame, perform a check if "Level 2 opened" equals 1. If it does, allow the player to enter the level, otherwise don't. Simple as that.


Your best bet on saving things would be simply using a save file. Like you'd just take your Global Values and write them to a file. Let's call it gamesave.sav.

gamesave.sav would look like this right now:

If you keep it like this, people could easily edit the savegame, so you might want to encrypt it using the Blowfish extension.

On the load file event, check for each variable and read out its value.

Go on. Actually you're just transferring variables from the game to a file for saving and vice-versa for loading.

The first thing doesn't work.

Well it works if you're doing it right.

also a bit more explanation on what doesn't work would be nice
so what exactly are you doing
