Save Points!


First, make a common event called Save Point (or whatever you want to call it). Place a sound effect (and a Flash Screen command after) to signal the player when they can save. Then, create a label (1, in this case) and make a Show Choice command with the following choices (by the way, select Choice 3 in the cancel case section):

Save (for saving your game, obviously)
Rest (use a shelter of sorts to rest)
Nothing (exit the choice selection)

In the Save case, put a Call Save Menu command and place a Jump To Label command that points to the same label used after the sound effect and flash.
In the Rest case, however, things will be a bit different. Under the Rest case, put a fork (a.k.a. conditional branch) with an ELSE case. The fork should check if the player has a shelter item (I'll use Tent as an example) in their inventory.
Inside the fork, drop 1 Tent, then put a Call Inn command under (the price should be 0). In the ELSE case, however, create a message that tells the player that they either DON'T have a Tent, or they need one to rest at the save point. Just like in the Save case, place a Jump to Label command that points to the label used at the beginning of this event.
In the Nothing case, place a Jump to Label command, but this time, it should point to a label that's different from the first label (let's use 99, for instance). Then, just below the Show Choice command, create the label to be used by the Nothing case.
