How do I make a "Save Point"

From OHRRPGCE-Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The Final Fantasy series popularized the concept of a "Save Point", that is a special spot that lets you save your game on a map that doesnt normally allow you to save. There is no built in "Save Point" feature in the OHRRPGCE, but it is easy to make one.

The first thing you need to do is make a shop. From the main meny pick Edit Shops. in the shop editor, make a new shop and name it "Save Point". Now pick Edit Shop Bitsets and enable Save, and make sure everything else is disabled.

Now go back to the main menu, and go into Edit Text Boxes. Make a new text box that says "You can save your game here" or whatever. Then go into the Edit Conditionals menu. You will see a line that says:

Never do the following
  restore party's HP and MP

Change that to:

Always do the following
  go to shop # Save Point

Next, create an NPC who looks like a save point (traditionally save points are sparkles of blue light) and assign the text box you just made to that NPC. Put the NPC on your map, and boom! You have a save point!

You can choose to use a step-on npc (edit npc in the map menu and go down to "activation") with a square which has a big S on it or make a strange character that will save you the game. Note also that if you are using a plostcript you can "save" up a shop by using save menu instead of using the command :

use shop(shop:name)
# you can also put "use shop (8)" if shop 8 is your save point

I know that we can make 32767 shops (which is rather impressive) but that's a good thing to know though.

You can also make a yes/no text box with the question: Would you like to save the game ? (or would you like to tell me your story ? for final fantasy I players, and Final Fantasy rpg makers)
