note: work fine with the savegame panel


First part : An example of Diary
Firstly, add your Diary in your script. For more information about the Diary, see the description in the reference panel of NG Center.

My Diary is on the slot : PUZZLE_ITEM1


Second Part : Add Load and Save functions
Secondly, you have to change type of flag in the Inventory Memory Zone of your item.

GlobalTrigger= 23,IGNORE,GT_ALWAYS,-1,-1,65,-1

*** don't forget to change this flipeffect if PUZZLE_ITEM1 isn't your Diary


Why used 12292 in a PARAM_BIG_NUMBER command???

because you want:
Load Game+Save Game+Use (for the diary) functions assigned at your item.
so you have 4096+8192+4 = 12292
12292 is the value to enter in "Type of Flag" of your item.


The values for type of flags in the Inventory Zone Memory are the following:

----
equip= 10
use= 4
separate= 16
examine= 32
shotgun ammo= 64
crowbow ammo= 128
grenade ammo= 256
uzi ammo= 512
pistols ammo= 1024
revolver ammo= 2048
load game= 4096
save game= 8192
----

Since engine doesn't support value greater than 255 in Trigger Type Window, you're obliged to use a PARAM_BIG_NUMBER command

Third part : Restore Quick saving, when you Press F5/F6
Since "Keyboard. Disable <&>keyboard command for (E) time" remove Load and Save, including quick saving, you can restore quick save function with following commands:

Globaltrigger=	24, -1,GT_KEYBOARD_CODE,63,-1,66,-1
TriggerGroup=	66,$2000, 53, $13[/I]
; Set Trigger Type - FLIPEFFECT 53
; Exporting: TRIGGER(19:0) for FLIPEFFECT(53)
; <#> : Keyboard. Simulate receivement of <&>keyboard comand in (E) way
; <&> : Load the game (special)
; (E) : Single sending
; Values to add in script command: $2000, 53, $13

Globaltrigger=	25, -1,GT_KEYBOARD_CODE,64,-1,67,-1
TriggerGroup=	67,$2000, 53, $12
; Set Trigger Type - FLIPEFFECT 53
; Exporting: TRIGGER(18:0) for FLIPEFFECT(53)
; <#> : Keyboard. Simulate receivement of <&>keyboard comand in (E) way
; <&> : Save the game (special)
; (E) : Single sending
; Values to add in script command: $2000, 53, $12
