[Eventing Question] How to save in the middle of an event?

[AOSP100]

In a later part of the game's story, it'll transfer the player to another map, then save, then restart. But when I resume, it repeats the save prompt.


Here's pbfakeglitch:

def pbfakeglitch
  oldscene=$scene
  $scene=nil
  pbMessage(_INTL("The script is taking too long. The game will restart."))
  return if !$Trainer
  if safeExists?(RTP.getSaveFileName("Game.rxdata"))
    File.open(RTP.getSaveFileName("Game.rxdata"),  'rb') { |r|
      File.open(RTP.getSaveFileName("Game.rxdata.bak"), 'wb') { |w|
        while s = r.read(4096)
          w.write s
        end
      }
    }
  end
  if pbSave
    pbMessage(_INTL("\\se[]The game was saved.\\me[GUI save game] The previous save file has been backed up.\\wtnp[30]"))
  else
    pbMessage(_INTL("\\se[]Save failed.\\wtnp[30]"))
  end
  $scene=oldscene
  a = Thread.new { system('Game') }
  exit
end

One solution is below

I'd just take out 'conditional branch' and do pure 'script' pbfakeglitch, then transfer player before that event. Since it seems like you're gonna transfer the player either way.

The 'script' event is on page 3 of 'event commands', very last one.

@>Fade Screen To Black
@>Transferplayer:New_Map
@>Script:pbfakeglitch

or if you need to 'check' a variable, then separate pbfakeglitch script. One to check for variable, another to save. then place Transferplayer in between. etc.

~Reason why original logic it's not currently working as intended~
The saving happens before the transferring the player. Thus when the player's load, it'll be before they transfer to new map.

Within the script, variables aren't returning besides `if !$Trainer` for the conditional branch to depend on, you'd need to return true or false or some kind of check.
If you were to put '$game_variables[1] == 0' in the script section of 'conditional branch' instead of 'pbfakeglitch', then it would have something to determine from.
Or if you were to determine said 'dependence variable' within 'pbfakeglitch' then use those variables to determine the 'conditional branches

Did that, but it does the same thing. I'm on the new map, but the event is repeated
