how do you use the load game function

[jman]

The title says it all

[Kalladdolf]

it's handy for making game menus and levels.

EXAMPLE:
you make a game, let's say, a level.
then u export it as "level1.dat"
then you make the menu.
create a button.
buttin -> mouse button down: left -> script editor ->

Code: Select all

Loadgame("level1");

then if you press the button, it will automatically exit the menu and open the level.
make sure that it is in the same folder as you menu.

[jman]

It dosent work

[Kalladdolf]

oops, I made a scripting error, sorry!

Code: Select all

 LoadGame("level1");

[jman]

It Still Dosn't Work

[jman]

are there any other things to use that work like the loadgame function

[Kalladdolf]

It Still Dosn't Work

weird...
how does the not-working look like?

[jman]

It says it is not a valid game

[Kalladdolf]

ok, I thought this might happen.

check again that
1. there aren't any typos (in your filename)
2. the level is in the same folder as the menu.

also, try to export the menu to an exe file.

and try that one (I'm not sure)

Code: Select all

LoadGame("level1.dat");

maybe it works with the file ending.

if the problem still continues, please post the game(s), maybe I can fix it.

[Spidy]

maybe he has no dat file

[Kalladdolf]

he can export the level into the dat file.
or into an exe. it doesn't matter.
the .dat file is better because then u can't start the level without having pressed the button in the game menu.

i dont know about this cuz i do not export my game.thanks for the info

You'll never could open the game with "LoadGame" function when you run in GE...Place LoadGame("level2"); function in your first level, and then export it...then make that level2...and export it too...so, LoadGame function will works in "EXPORTED" game...(both game must be exported first)

[jman]

i am gathering games ike incursion and mario and the golden key onto a disk
right now i am making a menu so i can choose what game i playwithout closing the whole
thing

[Bee-Ant]

Ummm...in the your menu just add
LoadGame("Mario.exe"); if you choose mario
and LoadGame("Incursion.exe"); if you choose incursion
Then export your menu into .exe file...
