Saving in Custom Stories

[Selyp]

So I know that there is an autosave option, but it is possible to have a Save and Exit type option like in the main game so that players can quit for a while and come back? If so, how would I do this? Sorry if it's been asked before, but I can't find any information on the subject. I have however been told it is possible so if anyone could shed some light on this it'd be much appreciated!

Ask whoever told you this then?

Actually you did in my other thread lol! So, how do you do this?

EDIT: I found some more information, so I am assuming that the only way to do this is to use Autosave() in conjunction with checkpoints? I guess my main question is after it autosaves, can the player load it manually? (i.e. after they quit and start the game again?) Or could you set it up to Autosave() OnLeave?

I don't know what I'm feeding into my sub-consciousness. I might have split-personality.

You cannot Load a save with scripting. Player must load it manually. You can only automatically save.

Hmm, maybe I am not being clear. I apologize. I figured out autosaving, I was only wondering if there is a way for the player to manually save when they want to exit. If not, I can make too with autosaves, was only curious.

I thought there was an option like "Save & Exit"?

That's what I am trying to figure out :
Oh well, for now I'll just use AutoSave.

[Tanshaydar]

Nope, when player press ESC, there is an option "Save & Exit", or there is not?

Its not showing up for me. Maybe I changed it when I set up my dev environment? It shows up in the main game but not in my custom game.

I may remember wrong :/
