go to scene by attribute

ey there
i am creating a game with 3 worlds,
and i am trying the render the " stars " into the menu system

so can i go to a scene any other way than go to next scene ?
from the level menu i can link by go to scene name directly... but the way i got it set up is the win/lose screen appear above the level
so i cant custume the next level button for each scene

so can i say like got to currentscene + 1 ? ( ofcourse having added the appropriated attributes in the next level scene )

just use change scene instead of next scene, in change scene drop down menu you can choose which scene you wanna link to.

i cant
the way i got it setted up that the win/lose screen is a scene by it self
that comes up in a layer front of the current screen

so if i made change to scene it will use that every time...

and that doesnt selve how can i read the scre the assign stars to the level select system

you have two options available to you to change scenes:

1. Next Scene
2. Change Scene

So, in your case you will:
- need to customize the next level button for each scene
- track what level you are on and wrap that button in a complicated rule like if currentLevel = 1, change scene to level 2
- redesign how your level end logic works

Think your main problem is when changing scene the layers are reset to default right? Think i encounter that on my first creation using single scene with multi layers. Still not solved yet though. Using bigger scene size and playing with camera origin could help abit but then the same problem occurs if scene reset the camera also reset.

mmmmmmm
and what about the stars thingy

i want if the player achive X in the game
in the level selection with the complete level sign it should show like golden or silver or bronze stars

how can i read the attribute of the specific scene ?

If I understand what you are talking about, your making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Just have x number of global attributes, one for each scene, and also track what level you are on in another global attribute.

So you could have

Game.currentLevel
Game.level1Stars
Game.Level2stars
Game.level3stars
.....

Then can track the rating there and depending on what level they are on, show the current value.

ok
sorry for so many questions but this is my first game with GS

the pasue game behavior requires me to call a scene
so when i call that scene with next level and everything else i cant customize the button because it will be from the original scene

i tryed spawning it in the level after calling the new scene bt the button appears under the new scene and their for unclickable

any tips ?
