How do you get actionlist to run at start of game?

ImagineTheEnding

Hi,

I see some people managed to get it to where certain actionlist plays at the start of game. How do you do this? Looked everywhere. Couldn't find an answer.

You can find this field near the top of the Settings Manager - it's the "ActionList on start game" field in the "Cutscene settings" panel.

I want more than one thing to begin at the start as different functions. That way it's easier to organize. How do you suggest doing that? Right now I can only assign one actionlist

A single ActionList can run multiple Actions - either by running other ActionLists with the ActionList run Action, or by running multiple "chains" of Actions in the same list with the ActionList: Run in parallel Action.

What kind of things specifically are you looking to do?

So, what I am trying to do is have a Hunger and Thirst meter that goes down over time. If I make multiple triggers that are continuously triggered by the target, then I can do this effect by decreasing their variables by one and then hooking the chain back onto itself.

However, it doesn't seem to work if I run the action list as parallel and have each variable decrease as its own action.

A recent thread regarding the decreasing of variables over time can be found here.

If you're decreasing two variables by the same frequency (i.e. every frame or every X seconds), you don't need two parallel chains - just decrease one after the other before looping back.

A script that causes variables to decrease over time can also be found on the wiki here: https://adventure-creator.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Timer
