I want to add cutscenes to my medieval RPG game well. I got a few ideas on how to do them. I'm asking for your help and opinions. My idea is say i make like if camera is showing false. Have no controls. Other is to use variables My question is how as in what to do really and like Boolean object and so on. I know i may have a lot of questions its just i dont want my game to be half astonishing. <-- if you get it. Please help like to see your ideas/opinion. PLEASE be specific sometimes i can get lost when its twenty steps.

To make stuff stop in the middile of the world for cutscenes, you need to put all your stuff you want to stop in an "While something is true" function. From there make sure in all of those function boxes there is a true and false variable called Cutscene. Make it 0, and make it when it = 1, play the cutscene animation and all the stuff will automatically stop.

It would take a lot more coding to make a game-save system, especially if it is a storyline/rpg game that you are making. Depending on which it is, you would need to make a separate method for every save of your game, meaning you will have to reprogram every part of the game you have already made (unless you did make it like this already). Again, like with collision, it is probably best to just not have a save system, and they start the game over again every time they close out.

Ok cuz i dont think ti would be easy to reprogram like 80mb.

be nice though. But not like the game will be extremely long or hard.

Well, you wouldn't have to reprogram all of the 80 mb that you made, those mostly all from objects probably (unless you have a lot of code put in already). All you would need to do is save the orientation of the person where they saved, save the current quest they are on, and any other important things like their level, any items, etc. Then you have to program it so that when they load their character it sends him to the correct orientation, it sets his level, gives back his items, etc etc.

You also need to have some knowledge in the language Python to save all of these things.
