hello to all,
i work on a really big tease, but i think noone can play this in one evening ( and i don't think someone will play it the hole day).
so i tried to find out how i can build an option to save your progress in the tease, but i didn't get it by my own.
so could anyone of you describe me how i can put in something into my tease?
(prefered in german, but in english also ok)
thx

Hi,
so I'd say that some options that have been used in past teases are:
- the most practical one is simply using teasestorage (you can see a tutorial in the EOS editor, going in the guide section denoted by a ( ? ) on the left, under the "persistent variables" guide).
- another alternative is simply have in a page some buttons to skip to different parts of the tease (remember to also set all variables that would be set if a player reached the point you are skipping to).
- one last possibility is to give the player some password during the tease and using a prompt action to request a password; then you check the inputted value against all possible password, and when you find the matching one, you simply skip the player to that part of the tease (same note about setting variables as previous point).
That is, assuming you are creating a simple save system. A little bit of understanding of variables is required but is not that complex.
I hope I've been helpful.
Cheers,

i tried it with the tutorial, but first i think i do something wrong and second, there is only one for a counter (?)
does it save this way? it sounds for me that it only counts how often you in this tease, but not where you stopped
