Check if the player has saved?

[Indinera]

When starting a new game, I'd like the player to save manually so to use the autosave (as I understand it won't work unless a save has manually been created...)
In order to do that just opening the save menu isn't enough since the player might not save anyway.
So if there any way to test if a player has saved?

to use the autosave (as I understand it won't work unless a save has manually been created...)

Autosave can be a feature that works perfectly without a pre-existing save file. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

As for your request, it should be possible by simply checking in the save folder for a save file. If I have some time later I'll write the code if you want (unless you prefer the autosave feature).

I would be happy if you could write it, please.
YEP Autosave requires to save manually first otherwise it never bothers autosaving anything (I always thought it was a poor decision especially if like you say it's not a necessity...)
DataManager.saveGame(1); does save automatically but then if you haven't saved manually before it, loading will cause a crash.

You can check $gameSystem.saveCount() it will return the times the player has saved. If it is 0, then player don't save.
Take a look at my autosave plugin and see if it will help you.
Although I don't release the one with Ui version. It only has the feature working and commands.

Thanks, it seemed that it worked.

@Eliaquim That's actually a pretty elegant solution, way simpler than what I had in mind haha.
