I'm basically finished with my game. After the final boss dies there is a game over text box. Now I want to make the game actually end and the player is thrown to the menu.
According to the wiki, the only way to do that is through plot scripting. Is this true or is there another way?

The only other way is to kill the player.

Mega Tact v1.1
Super Penguin Chef

Fortunately the script to do this is super-simple.
When you have compiled and imported it, you can attach it to your text box.
Code:
include, plotscr.hsd
script, end the game, begin
game over
end script
include, plotscr.hsd
script, end the game, begin
game over
end script
When you have compiled and imported it, you can attach it to your text box.

Thanks so much!
One thing hung me up until I read the plotscripting tutorial on the wiki. The code you gave me throws back an error unless you fix it like this:
Code:
include, plotscr.hsd
plotscript, end the game, begin
game over
endscript
include, plotscr.hsd
plotscript, end the game, begin
game over
endscript
Regardless, you put me on the right track. I just need to play through the game a couple times to find bugs, write instructions, and then I'll be done! Feels great!
I don't have any music, but I don't have the means or knowledge to write MIDIs and I'd rather have silence than use unoriginal music. Maybe in the future.
