[metamorphium]

This may be very blunt question which I've just recently discovered, but here goes. What exactly does Game.Reset() do?
I naively thought that it's sufficient to call it for restarting the game, but not so. In my case I have in game.script this:

global ConversationEnded = true;

upon Game.Reset this global contains [null] (thanks for the debugging console ) So what exactly should I do for restarting a game?
Should I recreate all objects, reinitialize all variables? This would be nice to know to avoid bad bugs, like the one I was just struggling with.

Thanks for any help on this one!

Should I recreate all objects, reinitialize all variables?

Yes, you'll have to. Game.Reset() sets all global variables to null. Other than that, it resets the inventory, dialogue responses and scene states.

Thanks! I got caught by "random bugs" I was never able to replicate until I restarted the game. Maybe it would be great to state
this explicitly in the documentation for the similary blunt persons as I am.

One more question though: do I have to recreate all objects and reload all windows too?

or maybe isn't the fastest way to Game.DetachScript("scripts/game.script"); with following reattach if really everything has to be
recreated (windows, objects, etc.)?

If you have some persistent objects/windows running all the time, you should indeed recreate them. Actually you should destroy them prior to calling reset and then recreate them. Either by re-running game.script or perhaps moving the initialization code to a separate script/function.

Thanks! Will do this.
