Randomize on load.

[KodiakBehr]

Okay, this is a fun question.

Is there any way I can randomize something upon the loading of a save-game?  I want to prevent players from being able to brute-force a solution.

Thanks!

You can detect whether a savegame is loaded by checking for the event eEventRestoreGame in the on_event() global function.

Just do something like below in the global script:

Code: AGS

function on_event(EventType event, int data){
  if (event == eEventRestoreGame) {
    //randomise codes here
  }
}

Fantastic.  Thank you kindly!

Also you're evil for doing this : )

You should at least give players some warning (i.e. putting in some visual cue when the puzzle re-randomizes itself). Otherwise players are liable to get stuck because of the meta-logic rather than on the puzzle itself.

No warning, only hardcore. This must be in every game XD.
