Solved Continuing in Certain Stage After Loss and Rushing Countdown during Continue Screen

Here are two issues I need help with: One is the certain returning level switch after continue and select screens, and the other one is with rushing the countdown by tapping any button.

I'm trying to go back to the level where I left off after losing. I have a continue screen and if I press start, I will go back to the select screen. I'm trying to go back instead of reverting back to the very beginning. For instance, if you are in stage B (level 3) and lose there, you can continue and go back to the select screen which is level 1. After selecting a character, you wanna go back to Stage B instead of stage A. However, you go to Stage A which means you are going back to the very beginning after the select screen. I need to revert back to Stage B after the select screen.

Code: 
set Arcade
branch Select
z 160 230
file data/levels/select.txt # level 1
branch StageA
z 200 200
file data/levels/stageA.txt # level 2
branch StageB
z 200 200
file data/levels/stageB.txt # level 3
branch StageC
z 200 200
file data/levels/stageC.txt # level 4
branch StageD
z 200 200
file data/levels/stageD.txt # level 5
branch    Ended
z    230 230 230
file    data/levels/emptyspace.txt # level 6
end
branch Return
z 160 230
file    data/levels/select.txt # level 7

I have the continue script working well but the continue entity is not type text. It's a none type entity but I already got a pause script for it. Also, I have an invisible player entity which is fake as a player, and it really helps me to move back to the select screen when I press start as a none type since it's not text type. But the problem is I can't press any button to change frame or rush to countdown. How can I have the keys access to rush the countdown? Do I need keyscript or animationscript (though I have it, I don't know which to use)?

For type text, I can press attack or jump (or any?) button to skip, but I cannot press start to skip or cancel as I understand you can pause it. Also, if I press start, I can't go back to the select screen because it's "paused".

            performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
        }
    }

}

EDIT:
I forgot to show that I put an entity spawn in the level here. It still cannot work and it seems empty.

Code: 
spawn    Empty
@script
void main()
{
    setglobalvar("Return", "StageB");
}
@end_script

I'm trying to go back to the level where I left off after losing. I have a continue screen and if I press start, I will go back to the select screen. I'm trying to go back instead of reverting back to the very beginning. For instance, if you are in stage B (level 3) and lose there, you can continue and go back to the select screen which is level 1. After selecting a character, you wanna go back to Stage B instead of stage A. However, you go to Stage A which means you are going back to the very beginning after the select screen. I need to revert back to Stage B after the select screen.

MMM, did you try to make a specific level to select? Instead of placing it in level A.

and at that level you could make a script that returns to a specific level (it joins by assigning a global variable).

I use this with the NPC selection menu. so that after selecting the player he would return to the village and not start again on the map

I say keyscript would be better, using the global keycapture system. Master @Bloodbane uses it in Dungeons and Dragons :D

I tried putting the code here before, but I don't know how to skip to Stage B.

Code: 
spawn    Empty
@script
void main()
{

I think I would need a script that reads the variable and jumps there on player's death, but I don't know how to do it.

Player's death anim:
Code: 
anim death
@script

    void Return = getglobalvar("Return");
    void Current = openborvariant("current_branch");

    int win3 = getglobalvar("win3");
    int win4 = getglobalvar("win4");
    int PLAY = openborvariant("count_players");
    int P1 = getplayerproperty(0, "entity");
    int P2 = getplayerproperty(1, "entity");

    int set = openborvariant("current_set");



   /*if(frame==6 && PLAY == 1){

    if(frame==8  && PLAY == 1  && set == 0){

I say keyscript would be better, using the global keycapture system. Master @Bloodbane uses it in Dungeons and Dragons :D

I even saw the key movement in the Map demo which he made too.

You have to do a false level, or in the same function when you continue or select.

The entity that does such an action must have jumptobranch(varname,1);

If you don't understand my point you could lend me the main elements of your mod and I personally apply the function.

After doing tests I send you the elements so you can add them

But the problem is I can't press any button to change frame or rush to countdown. How can I have the keys access to rush the countdown? Do I need keyscript or animationscript (though I have it, I don't know which to use)?
Click to expand...

As BladeMaster posted above, keyscript is the solution (y). Just like what I did with upgrade menu for Robz Rush:

The upgrade menu you see is type text, pausing everything else when it appears. However, I have keyall.c which captures key press and key release event from players and store it in respective global variable. By acquiring the value of these variables, I can change animation of upgrade menu entity 😎.

For instance, if you are in stage B (level 3) and lose there, you can continue and go back to the select screen which is level 1. After selecting a character, you wanna go back to Stage B instead of stage A.
Click to expand...

Hmmm... storing last entered stage is correct step. The next step is you might need a quick level which reads that last entered stage then jumps there. I believe I have posted tutorial on how to create quick level 🤔 before but I can't recall where 😅.

Yeah I think a dummy stage after select screen that will make some checks and send you to the correct branch. I did something like this in my double dragon vs mode mod but it was super hacky. I only had the dummy stage, which setup/reset all the win counters etc. every other stage was branch and I would also load a VS screen before it which did some other steps. (Dummy stage runs so fast you don't see it, just looks like a black screen anyway)

Basically you only have one normal stage in stages.txt - the dummy stage, and everything else is set as a branch. You will just always control it yourself what the next branch will be, over riding any default openbor behaviour.

//VS MODE TEST
Code: 
file    data/levels/DUMMY.TXT //dummy stage setting up the vars etc. (also used as the first VS screen)
branch zero
z 192 242
file    data/levels/STAGE1.TXT  //an actual stage vs random opponent
file    data/levels/INTER.TXT  // VS - VICTORY & LOSS SCREEN - used between matches
branch one
z 230 238
file    data/levels/STAGE2.TXT   //another stage
file    data/levels/INTER.TXT    // VS - VICTORY
branch two
z 190 242
file    data/levels/STAGE3.TXT
file    data/levels/INTER.TXT
branch end
z 192 242
file    data/levels/END.TXT //

The stages are being reused for each round by using branch command, so it's only loaded once. My mod was dodgy thou, it was just proof of concept, not done well. I think I was just setting the branch changes from victory poses in players and enemies... nothing special.

something like...
Code: 
void iStage = openborvariant("current_branch");

Code: 
jumptobranch(iStage, 1);

If i recall correctly, Branches count from ZERO (0)

I didn't have a dummy player, just forced a certain freespecial animation on that stage so they can't do anything, and the player is hidden behind a black layer and then I'm drawing the portraits and the VS text etc. over the top.

OK. I created a new entity named Return used for returning to the last level.

Return.txt (none type entity):
Code: 
name Return
type none
speed 10
antigravity      100

anim idle
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
void Name = getentityproperty(self, "name");
void Return = getglobalvar("Return");

       if(frame == 1){
        jumptobranch(Return, 1);
       }

I also made a fake level as a returning level after the select screen.

I changed the branch name of "Arcade_Select" from both Challenger and player1/player2 entities to "Returning" branch so it could move to the last stage. However, every time I'm in the Returning branch after the select screen, it goes back to the title screen now (or skips to Level B sometimes) after reaching the return level. Also, if you lose in level B and go back to the Returning branch, you'd be going back to the title screen. At least I got my first start in setting globalvar in a level. Not only am I going with Stage B but also Stage A, after testing with Return branch. I think I'm half way there. Am I missing something?

As for the keys, I set it in keyall.c, along with the continue key for the countdown entity.

keyall.c:
Code: 
#import "data/scripts/dcancel.c"
#import "data/chars/misc/continueanim/contkey.c"

void main(){
   
    daimaoKeyCancel();
    continueKey();
}

contkey.c:
Code: 
void main(){
    continueKey();
}

void continueKey(){
    int player = getlocalvar("player");
    //int self = getplayerproperty(player, "entity");
    int attack = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack");
    int attack2 = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack2");
    int attack3 = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack3");
    int attack4 = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack4");
    int jump = playerkeys(player, 1, "jump");
    int special = playerkeys(player, 1, "special");

    int attackR = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack");
    int attack2R = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack2");
    int attack3R = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack3");
    int attack4R = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack4");
    int jumpR = playerkeys(player, 2, "jump");
    int specialR = playerkeys(player, 2, "special");

    // Action event capture

    if(attack){
        setglobalvar(player+"A", 1);
    }
    if(attackR){
        setglobalvar(player+"A", NULL());
    }

    if(attack2){
        setglobalvar(player+"A2", 1);
    }
    if(attack2R){
        setglobalvar(player+"A2", NULL());
    }

    if(attack3){
        setglobalvar(player+"A3", 1);
    }
    if(attack3R){
        setglobalvar(player+"A3", NULL());
    }

    if(attack4){
        setglobalvar(player+"A4", 1);
    }
    if(attack4R){
        setglobalvar(player+"A4", NULL());
    }

    if(jump){
        setglobalvar(player+"J", 1);
    }
    if(jumpR){
        setglobalvar(player+"J", NULL());
    }

    if(special){
        setglobalvar(player+"S", 1);
    }
    if(specialR){
        setglobalvar(player+"S", NULL());
    }
}

However, if I put the global key script in the countdown entity, the engine crashes. I'm trying to change frame during a long delay frame with an attack key, but maybe it doesn't register. I'm lost with keys, but I don't need a start button since the fake player can always jump to the select screen if you press start, unless it's a text type entity.
Code: 
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int frame = getentityproperty(self, "animpos");

void 0A = getglobalvar("0A");
void 1A = getglobalvar("1A");


    //setglobalvar("0A", NULL());
    //setglobalvar("1A", NULL());


if(frame == 3 || frame == 4 || frame == 5 || frame == 6){
        setglobalvar("0A", 1);
        updateframe(self, 7);

}
@end_script

I'm missing something again.

Hey @aL BeasTie! It's great to see you here! I forgot about level branches for number of rounds until I figured out how to do it. It's a nice idea to have a level which is for VS screen and choosing which opponent to face, and I'll try to integrate it after winning battles.

I can't get it to work. I have a select screen as a level instead of a default one. Here's the following that belong to the select screen as an example.

Sorry for the double post, but I'm just continuing to include the related ones to the player select.

chus.c:
C: 
void main()
{// Select player effect on damage
    void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
    char Nama = getentityproperty(self,"name");
    void Opp = getlocalvar("attacker"); //Get attacker
    int PIndex = getentityproperty(Opp,"playerindex") + 1;

    setglobalvar("PilP" + PIndex, Nama);
}

You know, I think that quoted texts would only be understandable for modders who have copied level select system.

But back to topic, what is actually not working here? did you fail to return to last stage? did it crashed? or something else?

After going back to the select screen with set to type none for CountD, I selected the character and it started to crash.

I just found out. When I have the first branch (Arcade_Select) set here for level 1, it crashes. But if I don't have it set and Stage_Ryu is the first branch, it skips to the title screen after continuing and selecting a character. As a result, it fails to return to the last level.

This time, I figured out the argument for the Return entity when it is in the first game mode, but still, I can't jump to a certain branch. I changed the varname (variant name) in the argument (under second frame).

Code: 
anim idle
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
char Name = getentityproperty(self, "name");
void Return = getglobalvar("Return");
int Plays = openborvariant("count_players");
int set = openborvariant("current_set");

       if(frame == 1 && Plays == 1 && set == 0){
        //jumptobranch("Stage", 1);
        jumptobranch("Return", 1);
       }

@end_script
    offset 1 1
    loop 1
    delay 5
    frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif
    frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif
    frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif
    frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif

"Return" is not a branch name in levels.txt and it looks like it's not specify which branch to go with. I'm under "Returning" branch after losing the battle and I want to return the last level I left off. How to do it?

I believe it should be:
C: 
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
char Name = getentityproperty(self, "name");
void Return = getglobalvar("Return");
int Plays = openborvariant("count_players");
int set = openborvariant("current_set");

       if(frame == 1 && Plays == 1 && set == 0){
        jumptobranch(Return, 1);
       }
@end_script

I did that and realized that could be it. Got one element down, a few more to go for it to register.

I'm tired of showing full codes here. I don't wanna be redundant of it, so I show it with PasteBin links for now.

Pilada.txt (part of select element similar to Pilmon.txt). Take a look at Return variable/function. Am I doing it wrong? Here:
pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Return.txt (level part). The Return level spawns Return entity to load with globalvar. Look at the script tag of it. The spawned Black entity is a none type entity in case you're wondering.

CHARATEST.txt (similar to Pilih.txt). Playerports is similar to Modis and Slots is similar to Foto. Is there anything I did wrong here for setting globalvars in attempting to return to last levels? Take a look at "Return" globals or something.

Is this because I didn't declare the return globalvar in the player cursor?

I've checked Pilada.txt and I found this:
Code: 
    setglobalvar("Return", NULL());
    jumptobranch("Stage", 1);

You cleared "Return" variable but you haven't used anything stored there yet, because you jump to branch called "Stage".
It should be like this:
Code: 
    jumptobranch(Return, 1);

This would work properly if you've stored correct return branchname in match level, such as : Stage_Eagle in eagle.txt or Stage_Ken in ken.txt . You've done that right? :)

Thanks, Bloodbane! It worked! :D But I solved the returning point by observing carefully at how @Blade Master did his SelectNPC.txt level and other elements used for jumping to a certain branch instead of just Map branch, and playing with the fake player's onspawnscript, using how he did it, but I made them to different branches. I figured out how I could get anything stored to the return variable in its spawn script. :) I think you can do it with the global player joining script (join#.c; # as in player index; e.g. 1 for player 1). Before I show you the elements, here's my udpated levels.txt. (I'm not using Returning branch anymore because it's pointless now.)

In case you get confused with assigning which levels to use, here's a better one with branches.

C: 
    if(PLAY == 1 && set == 0){
        if(branch == "Stage_Ryu"){
            if( (aniID == RESPAWN || aniID == SPAWN) && Return == NULL() ){
                setglobalvar("Return","Stage_Ryu"); //Return to Ryu's stage?
                performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
                jumptobranch("Arcade_Select", 1); //Jump to select screen
            }
        }

        if(branch == "Stage_Eagle"){
            if( (aniID == RESPAWN || aniID == SPAWN) && Return == NULL() ){
                setglobalvar("Return","Stage_Eagle"); // Return to Eagle's stage?
                performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
                jumptobranch("Arcade_Select", 1); //Jump to select screen
            }
        }

        if(branch == "Stage_Ken"){
            if( (aniID == RESPAWN || aniID == SPAWN) && Return == NULL() ){
                setglobalvar("Return","Stage_Ken"); // Return to Ken's stage?
                performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
                jumptobranch("Arcade_Select", 1); //Jump to select screen
            }
        }

I was checking on Robz Rush mod on the "pause" menu and there are two parts that play their role as a pause for upgrade menu. Pauser (none type) and PausM (text type). I understand they have keys active with index, but the index and keys are what confuse me, such as St for start, and 0St for player 1's start. I tried it before, pretty confusing to know how they are handled as keys. Hmm... it seems that St is getglobalvar("0St"), isn't it? My none type ent is not a pause, but I wanna try to do the keys on the none type ent. How can I handle the index keys for 2 players separately? I plan on changing frame upon pressing any button under one animation. Otherwise, I'd separate them into animations.

P.S.: I still have limited knowledge of globalvars, localvars, and entityvars and how they are set. But getlocalvar("self") is very easy to identity as an entity itself. :)

I was working on the key for the countdown but I have trouble with the one in the script tag here. Take a look at 0A and 1A as I'm trying to register as attack keys to change frame.

Personal keyscript for the countdown entity.

Code: 
void main(){
    continueKey();
}

void continueKey(){
    int player = getlocalvar("player");
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int frame = getentityproperty(self, "animpos");
    //int self = getplayerproperty(player, "entity");
    int attack = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack");
    int attack2 = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack2");
    int attack3 = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack3");
    int attack4 = playerkeys(player, 1, "attack4");
    int jump = playerkeys(player, 1, "jump");
    int special = playerkeys(player, 1, "special");

    int attackR = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack");
    int attack2R = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack2");
    int attack3R = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack3");
    int attack4R = playerkeys(player, 2, "attack4");
    int jumpR = playerkeys(player, 2, "jump");
    int specialR = playerkeys(player, 2, "special");

    int anybutton = playerkeys(player, 1, "anybutton");
    int anybuttonR = playerkeys(player, 2, "anybutton");

    // Action event capture

    if(anybutton){
        setglobalvar("AB", 1);
    }

    if(attack){
        setglobalvar(player+"A", 1);
    }
    if(attackR){
        setglobalvar(player+"A", NULL());
    }

    if(attack2){
        setglobalvar(player+"A2", 1);
    }
    if(attack2R){
        setglobalvar(player+"A2", NULL());
    }

    if(attack3){
        setglobalvar(player+"A3", 1);
    }
    if(attack3R){
        setglobalvar(player+"A3", NULL());
    }

    if(attack4){
        setglobalvar(player+"A4", 1);
    }
    if(attack4R){
        setglobalvar(player+"A4", NULL());
    }

    if(jump){
        setglobalvar(player+"J", 1);
    }
    if(jumpR){
        setglobalvar(player+"J", NULL());
    }

    if(special){
        setglobalvar(player+"S", 1);
    }
    if(specialR){
        setglobalvar(player+"S", NULL());
    }
   
}

I'm trying to store player index with index keys for pressing. How do I register player index and keys for changing frame in that animation?

EDIT: This is the player's opponent's victory in case you wanna know as an example.

Code: 
name    EnemyWin
health  2
type text
#type none
shadow 0
nolife  1
palette none

nomove 1 1

I'm so glad my mod helped you. A suggestion, if you are using a global variable to know if some keys are being pressed you have to put it in a repeating animation, so that it is updated periodically (I discovered it the bad way HAHA).

a small example:

Code: 
anim    follow1
@script
        if(frame == 0)
    {
 setglobalvar("MenuMove",0);
  setglobalvar("MenuSelect",0);
    }
    if(frame >= 1){

    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int move = getglobalvar("MenuMove");//update the keys
    int ok = getglobalvar("MenuSelect");//update the keys

        if(move == 2)
    {
 changeentityproperty(self,"animation",openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
    }
 else if(move == -2)
    {
 changeentityproperty(self,"animation",openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
    }
    if(ok == 2)
    {
 changeentityproperty(self,"animation",openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW4"));
    }
}
    @end_script  
    loop    1 2
    delay    5
    offset    240 0
