Hi,
    I want to at the end of the game to move the player to a start screen (no problems with this) and also reset all the variables, global and local, reset all items taken or deleted and reset all states regarding rooms visted etc.

Basically reset all to the state the game started in.


Can this be done easily??


Also will game saves still be usable after this reset?

I think Game.Reset() should do it.

yes I tried this but it does not reset windows or items that have been deleted.....I think?

Mnemonic can you confirm??

To quote the docs:

"This method deletes all scene states, selected responses, sets timer to zero and also clears all global variables, except those holding game objects (such as windows or entities). Use this method if you want to start a new game."

It should reset the deleted items though.

ok Thanks, But if items are left in the inventory and the inventory is a window will this not be effected?? So the game will begin again with items that were in inventory at the time the reset happened??

No, the game basically reloads the items.items file.

ah ok, thanks, so what does this mean when windows with objects are not effected??

I have windows for on sceen objects, will I need to close these down first before reset??

Yes, you're responsible for the windows. The Reset() method intentionally doesn't destroy any loaded game objects, because it might be quite destructive for some games.
