better way to know if Player made a save game? : V

Is there a better way to know if the player made a save game other than detecting when the main menu is closed?

Or is that (On main menu closed) the best that is possible?

You could probably also do OnKeyDown (F5) to detect quicksaves, assuming that they didn't rebind that key.

Oh for pete sake...... "main" menu mode CANNOT be detected. The one where the saves are done.

So I now have NO way to detect a save game ( I need the real manual save not quick save.)

Oh gezzz there has to be some trick to do this. Maybe a way to detect the key down for the main menu like mojo22 suggested?

Did you try "Journal Menu"?

no..... but I just realized it is a PAUSE MENU!

this works:

iPause = Input.GetMappedKey("Pause")

RegisterForKey(iPause)

GEEZZE.... Why no "Pause Menu" detection for On open and close menu?

Anyway thank you mojo22 again for the outside the SkyBOX thinking on this. That would have really svcked not to be able to even detect the menu for the saves.

And thanks to you to Morionic for trying to help.

Wait, are you just trying get an event for when the player opens his System Menu? The one that says System on the top?

Because if that's it, OnMenuClose("Journal Menu") would probably less roundabout than using a key event.
