Map post-load scripts not work with widgets

kaedusoft

Hello again. I've been working quite a bit with the engine, and I've encountered several issues. I'm just reporting one here, and I don't know if it's a bug.

I've created a widget that appears at a certain point in the game. When the player saves and reloads the game, I don't want the widget to be visible, but it is.

I've created a post-load script to hide the widget once the map loads, but it doesn't work.

This is actually derived from another project where I have a widget that doesn't load images properly when loading the game, and it only gets fixed after manually updating it during the game.

Below is a short video showing how the post-load script runs correctly, but it still doesn't hide the widget.

kaedusoft slight misunderstanding there.

post-load is not actually anything to do with loading a game....it's post-load of the map.
Load Game does not re-trigger the map to load. it just restores a saved state (see last paragraph).
There currently is no inbuilt post load game event. (see second reply).

So when the map first loads, I suspect you will see your printed console message already in the console before you even save/load.

post-load will only take effect if the map is actualy re-loaded via a map transition or load_map() request.

Save games save the whole state and load games restore the state.
So if the widget is open when you save, it will be open when you load.

if you want an actual post LOAD GAME event... I have a video that explains how to make one.
