why why why?!?!?!

[Aran]

Why does anytime I try to return to the map from the gameover screen it'll teleport, but then keep running gameover over and over again. I cleared the gameover flag too!
EDIT: Nevermind. But why does it keep repeating when I use the Game Over event, but when I use

$game_temp.gameover = true

it works... for the most part.

Yeah I was about to post the exact same thing. I really don't understand why :s

EDIT: Here's the script I (And maybe Aran ) are using.

mines is less complicated. but it serves the same purpose ^^ I'll post mine in about 5 minutes :D

 

[SephirothSpawn]

So um... did you figure it out?

I didn't get the question.

 

[Aran]

Oh! yeah! It worked!

Here (it's still a little messy right now, but I'm gonna model it up before i post it in the Submitted Scripts)

module Save
  
    def self.add_save(map_id=1,event_id=0)
      @saves = {}
      unless @saves.keys.size < 0
        @saves.replace({map_id=> event_id})    
      else
        @saves[map_id] = event_id
      end
    end
    
    def self.saves
      return @saves
    end
    
end
  
class Scene_Gameover
  
  alias save_scngover_upd update
  
  def update
    @map_id = Save.saves.keys.first
    @event_id = Save.saves.values.first    
    @map = load_data(sprintf("Data/Map%03d.rxdata", @map_id))
    @x = @map.events[@event_id].x
    @y = @map.events[@event_id].y
    save_scngover_upd
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      save_scngover_upd
      $game_temp.gameover = false
      $game_map.setup(@map_id)
      $game_player.moveto(@x,@y)
      $scene=Scene_Map.new
      $game_map.refresh
    end
  end 
    
end

In your Save/Check Point event put this:

Save.add_save($game_map.map_id, [color=red][i]event id[/i][/color])

It's not full proof yet because if you never touch a checkpoint space then it'll give you an error. But it works when you follow all the rules!
