Want to add an autosave checkpoint like Tendry's Tale has? Here's an easy process:

1: Download Checkpoints.png from here
https://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=27418

2: Make a new character in your hold. Assign Checkpoints.png as a custom sprite. Make sure the base chararcter type is one that has orientation, and is not a brain.

3: Copy the following to your clipboard:
  Imperative 14
  Disappear 
  Imperative 12
  Imperative 18
  Set var "_MyO" = 1
Label Loop
  Wait for player to touch me 
  Set var "_MyO" = 2
  Autosave CHANGE THIS TEXT
Label Standing on checkpoint
  Wait 0
  If ... 
          Wait for player to touch me 
     Go to Standing on checkpoint
  If End 
  Set var "_MyO" = 1
  Go to Loop


4: Place a character in your room, make it your custom checkpoint character and SET IT TO VISIBLE so that you can see it on future playthroughs when looking ahead into a previously explored room. Paste the above script by pressing Ctrl + Shift + B.

5: Update the autosave name as required.

Note that placing this into a default script will not work as you need to change the name of the autosave and it can't be set via a variable.

I updated the script for RPG 2. It has Imperative Invisible Inspectable, and was also possible to do much more easily without any of the MyScript variables.
