Script Guide_5 make your scenario with several files

It will be a nightmare to write all the content in a single file when the story is long, split it into episodes in other files.

[call] -  jump to another file

The script [call] goes with one or two parameters, the scenario file and the label you want to go to. You can use many files and jump between them in a game.  Use this script to read another scenario file.

[goto Filename| Labelname]

Filename: the filename of the scenario, all the file can be found in the scenario directory.

Labelname: the name a label in current scenario file. You can use variables in Labelname. It will read the first line  without this parameter.

Example: read a new file

[call anotherfile.txt]

This will lead the game to another file and read the first line of script.

[call anotherfile.txt|somelabel]

This will read the other file and jump to the line of that label.

[return] - go back to the last file

when you use [call] to jump to another scenario file, you can use the script [return] to go back to the last file and start at the next line of [call]. you can use it only once after a [call] in this version.

the last file will store in the savefile after a script [call] runs correctly if you saved. So the [return] is usable after you load a savefile.

Example: jump and go back

In the mainfile.txt

[dialog bunny| hello! I am bunny.]

[call anotherfile.txt]

[dialog bunny| It is me again!]

In the anotherfile.txt

[dialog cabbage| Hi, I am a cabbage.]

[return]

The bunny says hello and a cabbage come to say hi, and then the game goes back to the first scenario file, shows the bunny again.
