File won't load despite being in startup file listed?

[bruisedsoldier]

hello! recently, I started to change a couple things to code and what not, so I figured for playtesting purposes, I’d create a new game, leave it on unpublished for now and test out what I’ve changed before releasing it full of bugs.

my problem now is that I can’t move beyond the first chapter. as soon as I try, it loads endlessly despite (chapter) ‘two’ being listed in the startup file and the name of said file matching. I’ve tried deleting my save and starting anew but it still loads endlessly. does anyone know what the problem is?

Have you added the command:
-*goto two anywhere

Because it doesn’t matter if you have it in the scene list if you don’t go there in your code.

Only your first chapter will appear because this is the start but when you want to go to another file you should use the command :*goto (file name)

@bruisedsoldier

it loads endlessly

It does that because your test doesn’t know what to read next

[bruisedsoldier]

really? I never had that problem before but I’ll try

[bruisedsoldier]

figured it out in my hurry to test i forgot to upload file one and skipped it to upload file 2

I am glad you solved your problem

@Death_Lord

when you want to go to another file you should use the command :*goto (file name)

Small but vital correction: the command would be *goto_scene filename.

*goto will look for a label in the current scene and crash if it doesn’t find one.

And for the OP’s intended purpose *finish also works – it’ll take you to the next scene in your startup.txt list.
