Right thank you for the help and advice. I will say I'm going with a horror shooter mostly. The one thing I like from re outbreak inventory is it didn't pause the game so when you switch weapons or use a healing item you had to be in a safe area. Also what is the scripting like? I'm new to coding and never done it at all, so would it be a good start for a beginner?
so scripting in efpse is absolutely nothing like coding.
in efpse scripts are a set of commands that run in sequence
for an example of a very simple script:
vn 1
text "hello world"
map return
this script calls the command vn and sets it to 1 (true) ---- vn is visual novel mode for text and just displays text inside a text box
then it calls the command text with the text "hello world" ---- this will display the text inside the quotes
then it calls the command map return, which ends the script and returns the player to the game.
