reseting game

allc1865

Hi. I want to create a "retry" button in my pause menu. So every time you go to pause the game, you have "continue", "main menu", and also "reset", but every time you click the reset button, it resets the current scene. How can I get it to reset the game, instead of the current "pause menu" scene.
Any help would be great! Thanks.

also place this behavior above that change game.reset to false and delay the reset scene with a timer?

after 0.01 seconds (check run to completion)
reset scene

and else post an image of your rule. maybe you did something wrong

There's a behaviour for Reset Scene, and one for Reset Game. You may still want to add a bit of code to go to a particular scene once Reset Game has been called.

@KevinCross, hi. That's what I had - Reset Scene, but that resets the current scene, which is my pause menu. I want it to reset the game at the last created checkpoint... Reset Game, if I recall, resets your whole game.

-Timo-

first make a boolean attribute (lets say we call it game.reset)
in the pause scene inside the reset button place the behaviors
change attribute game.reset to true
unpause game.

inside the scene (level or something) place an actor with the behaviors

rule
if game.reset is true
change game.reset to false
reset scene.

Oh right, you asked how do you reset the game and that you was using Reset Scene which was only erm... resetting the scene.

If you don't want to use the standard reset behaviours you will need to go with a similar approach to what @timolapre1998 says. Have an attribute to say if the game needs resetting, and if it's true, add in all of the change attributes you need to reset scores, lives and whatnots, and then change to another scene.

@timolapre1998, that works, thanks! But one problem is that I have a score, and so I'm collecting coins...I hit "retry", and it resets, but my score doesn't reset. It stays at 50, or however many coins I've collected.
Any way to fix this?

-Timo-

@KevinCross just mentioned how to fix that.

also in the actor that has

rule
if game.reset is true
change game.reset to false
reset scene.

also place a change attribute scores to 0 (make sure its above the reset scene behavior)

allc1865

Thanks, that's good advice.

I did, change attribute > game.Score to 0, and placed it above my Reset Scene...
It didn't work.

allc1865

Ooops. I posted the image of my reset in the wrong discussion. Sorry. Here's my rules. These are placed in my actor.

-Timo-

thats what I said glad you fixed it. can you accept the answers?

allc1865

Yes, I still have a problem with it; the score won't reset along with my game.

allc1865

No, the score won't reset. When I said, "it works", I'm sorry, I meant the image showed up.

-Timo-

Put the change attribute score to 0 above in the rule. If this doesnt work then put the change game.game reset in a timer
After 0.01 seconds run to completion
Change game.game reset to false
Hope this helps
