I have a window that overlays every scene.  It has a compass type button that it would be nice it it could be used to move to the previous or next scene--in every scene.  That window is always on top of each scene.  That window has the player avatar and a few other things.

I'd like to let the player click on a part of that compass type button in that window in each individual scene and move to the next correct scene or to the correct prior scene, or another different, unvisited scene. 

I'd have to change the script for that button in each scene.ini file I think to accomplish that.  Can I do it?  :  ) 

Or should I just have the button as part of the graphics of each scene and make region entities over that button that allow the movement to the next or previous scene?

Trying to describe this as best I can.  :  )

There are numerous ways of doing that. I'd define two shared (global) variables containing currently available prev/next scene. You can set those variables in each scene's scene_init.script:

Code: WME Script

1. global g_PrevScene = "scenes\something\something.scene";
2. global g_NextScene = "scenes\something_else\something_else.scene";
3.  

And the compass button would simply read those globals and change scene.

Code: WME Script

1. on "CompassPrev"
2. {
3.   global g_PrevScene;
4.   if(g_PrevScene != "") Game.ChangeScene(g_PrevScene);
5. }
6.  
7.  
8. on "CompassNext"
9. {
10.   global g_NextScene;
11.   if(g_NextScene != "") Game.ChangeScene(g_NextScene);
12. }
13.

Thanks, I will try it, Mnemonic. It seems like a beautifully simple solution.
