How do I reveal evidence/profiles later on in the trial?

[karlkablisk]

Ok, so I got started for the first time today and am real impressed by the editor. I can work on it lil by lil now while in school or anywhere else. Its great!

When I start I have a few pieces of evidence. Then I remove them and add new evidence. My problem is that every time I add evidence, it gets loaded from the start of the Trial! This means whenever I create some new evidence, I have to program it out of automatically loading in the beginning and then program where it loads in.

Is there any way to set it up to just load as it goes along? I don't mind having to call up each evidence manually as I go along, but having to manually tell each individual evidence not to show and then going to the part where it IS supposed to show and put it in is going to get old REAL quick, lol.

Any ideas?

Everything is preloaded, well, mostly. This includes the evidence pictures.

But what you truly meant was when it is visible. No, there is no way for the player to magically know when you want stuff to be visible and when not. You have to tell it. Then it can guess whenether or not it should be displayed from the start.

Yeah, so instead of automatically assume it should show everything, can I get it to automatically assume I DONT want it to show everything. If I can't then I at least know what I have to do.

The player operates under the following logic:
If an evidence/profile have no actions to hide/reveal it*, it starts visible. Else, it is assumed that it will be revealed at a later point.

So it should "magically" work most of the time, since very few people hides stuff that was visible at the beginning. The guess is wrong only in those cases. And they are rare enough to pretend that it's not an issue.

Hide actions do not count

If your evidence is revealed at some point of your trial, then it will be automatically hidden at the start
