Hi all

The game is completed, the credits have run. The game loops round to its intro again. Game.Reset is used to initialize the game.

But we find that now, none of the items we pick up go to inventory. Nothing's changed. The code's the same. Why won't the game run from the start properly after it has been reset?

What have I missed?

Thanks

As a rider to this - I found in the documentation to Game.Reset this only:

"Resets the game's persistent data."

Anybody offer an explanation for this? What does 'Reset' mean exactly? Can anybody offer, what is defined as 'persistent' and presumably whatever is 'non-persistent'?

I'm not a programmer by profession, so if these are programmer jargon, forgive me for not knowing them.

Thanks

Upon reset, the game reloads the basic items file (the one you assign in ProjectMan). If you're doing some other trickery with inventory items, such as loading multiple items files, you'll need to do it after reset.

No, nothing like. There is items.items, that's it  On completion of use, all 190-odd of them are Game.DeleteItem. But after Game.Reset, although they go through the motions of going to inventory, they do not appear in inventory.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Could it be the inventory scroll offset? Try setting Game.InventoryScrollOffset to zero before resetting the game.
