There are a couple of games in the library that have achievements that can only be attained after several playthroughs.
Cannonfire Concerto (i hope i remembered the name right) for example has one for buying all the outfits, which can only be done over several games.
How do I make such an achievement?
Probably thereâs a âhiddenâ variable that keeps track of how many times youâve encountered a scene or, like in the example you provided, keeping track of how many outfits youâre bought (which I assume you can only do once per playthrough?).
Maybe have other achievements as conditions for unlocking other achievements?
I was going to suggest the same, using achievements to unlock achievements. They are the one thing that spans playthroughs.
Yeah, but in those games you do NOT get an achievement from what i saw (couldnt check the code yet, thatâs why im asking)
The easiest way, I can imagine is faking the restart page by creating an choice that brings you per label Back to the start. But I am Not sure If that will Work after release
Perhaps @HarrisPS could help creme de la Creme has achievements that recognize getting them before.
Thatâd be great, cause I tried looking into Cannonfireâs coat now, and I have no idea how itâs done. By all means, the variables used should reset each playthrough by the looks of the startup O_o
WITCHCRAFT
In other words, a new playthrough would reset all variables, unless a âresetâ is induced by this sorcery⌠So the âresetâ would be treated as a continuation instead of a new startâŚ
Do you know other games that have achievements over more than one playthrough, Iâd like to code Dive. But I need more sources to consider.
I know Choice of Vampire has a lot of achievements. That might be a good source to consider.
Good luck!
I donât think so Iâm afraid, sorry! I only remember seeing Cannonfire Concerto thatâs got that setup.
okay, I dove a bit deeper into the Cannonfire code and I still donât get it. Like, the variable used only adds a +1 to clothes, but that should nevertheless reset upon a new game.
This is mindboggling.
Allow me to help you on your quest for:
If youâre not familiar with the game, the code might look⌠dauntingâŚ
thanks but, itâs not really helping
@MeltingPenguins What is the code for the final âobtained all clothesâ achievement firing? That should tell us what method is sitting underneath the persistence.
Thanks, but thatâs not it. Cannonfire doesnât give achievements for buying clothes individually, the achievement somehow triggers after youâve reached a certain number of clothes which isnât possible in one playthrough O_o
Or maybe iâm just going cuckoo
I would guess the programming part for the achievements is located in the Javascript part of choice script
Are you sure itâs not possible to do so in one playthrough? As far as I can see in the gameâs startup file there is nothing out of ordinary. It has tracked variables for:
I donât have this game, so I canât check the chapters where these achievements are granted, but from the startup file they are based on regular variables. I doubt that the trick is in the redirecting to the new game from epilogues file, otherwise it would be possible to get the achievement for 6 dresses choosing exactly same dress in the first chapter for 6 playthroughs. Or it would require many additional ifs in the scene where the last (chronologically) piece of clothes is supposed to be obtained: to check if the counting variable is >=4 or 6 and to check if other items of the required set are actually obtained.
Are we sure the number of clothes Cannonfire Concerto gives an achievement for isnât doable in one playthrough? 
Edit: Ninjaâed by @Riful
Unless I completely missed something in my playthroughs, it isnât.
Iâm so confused.
