Yep, it works, but what I had in mind was ...

for the first-time player,

1. cutscene plays. (and this isn't part of the game actually).
2. I use the "Return to Title" command, (or you could put this in your script)
3. Player go back to the title screen and starts new game. (continue button not available since they didn't save game, anyway, I don't want to have this continue button available. It looks weird since they only watched a cutscene and didn't actually play the game).
4. I autosave the moment the player starts a new game so that the cutscene don't repeats.

but what's happening is that,

1. cutscene plays.
2. I use the "Return to Title" command,
3. The cutscene replays.

it seems to me as if this cutscene "replaces" the Title Screen and not skips it.

The others are perfect. But can you pls solve the above problem.

Thanks.

[Jackolas]

and this isn't part of the game actually

there is the real problem

anyway.. in the latest version  (the 1 Game_Guy posted) you can set a start position for your cutscene and the start position of your game somewhere else.

also g_g.. .thanks for the fix. learned a new thing

Read the how to use in the script

[arisenhorizen]

o.o an idea..? YAY.

Oh and, do anyone have an idea on how to autosave after I start "New Game", or at any point of the game without having the player to actually save game? (I suppose I need a autosave script? But then again, an autosave script will be tricky, since I don't think you can determine when the autosave is going to work).

[Jackolas]

k.. try again. I suggest read the how to use in the script.

this way the cut scene will only open when you start the game and have no save games.

[arisenhorizen]

YAY, IT WORKKKEEED.

But lol, I have another problem. I need to autosave the moment "New Game" starts so that it doesn't repeat the cutscene everytime I start it or perharps I could manupulate when I want to autosave the game. (some people don't remember to save game before shutting down, lol).

EDIT : I gotta sleep now, but I will get back tmr.

[Jackolas]

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,33752.0.html

there is your auto save. (hope it works)
(should give no problems with my script)

[arisenhorizen]

Thanks~! It worked perfectly~!

Finally problem resolved.

Thanks for helping me for like the nth time.

NP, that's where this forum is for I think
