Hi!

I have this event going once trough, and after it finishes i want the player to start all over again.

I have tried gosub and goto but i get error saying label does not exists.

In blitz3d as an example, all i have to do is to put (.game_start) at the top before any codes, and the buttom (goto .game_start.)
So it dousent jump to any label at the beginning of the event, only after its finished.

Iv looked in the help files on 1 example, but it dousent help me much.

I appreciate all help.

What you do is put your main menu in a procedure and have the game playing section in the main loop.

At the start of the program, do your setup and Gosub Main_Menu. Trap the program so it only Returns from the Main Menu procedure when the player selects Play Game.

At the end of the game, simply Gosub Main_Menu again and repeat!

The following is an example of pseudo (not real) code:

+ Code Snippet

Gosub Setup
Gosub Main_Menu
Do
  Rem Play Game Code Here
  Sync
Loop
End

Main_Menu:
  Repeat
    If Player Chooses Quit Then End
    If Player Chooses Settings Then Gosub Settings
  Until Player Chooses 'Start Game'
Return

Setup:
  Rem Program Setup Code Here
Return

Tutorial 2 here might be useful too...
