Hey its me again...
I know that you can use the LoadGame function to make multiple levels across more than one .ged file or .exe, whatever. But is it possible to save variables in one .ged and copy them to another so they can be loaded?
Say I have a game where there are five levels for each of the two .ged files. I have collected 150 coins in one half of the game and I want to still have those coins when I play the other half i.e. the other .ged file.

Tell me if this is at all possible, or if I'm just speaking gobbledy gook.
Cheers!

use saveVars() and loadVars()

Save functions

Use saveVars and loadVars to save and load any variables in a game, like highscores, current lives, etc. To use these functions, you must use the "Save group" field in the "Add New Variable" panel (Variable button in the Script Editor).

saveVars: Save all variables in the group to the specified file.
The file will be saved in the game directory.
void saveVars(char *file, char *group)

Use saveVars to save any variables in a game; highscores, current lives, etc.
You must use the "Save group" field in the "Add New Variable"panel (Variable button in the Script Editor).

Script Editor Syntax:
saveVars("game.sav", "High Score");

loadVars: Load all the variables in the group from a specified file.
void loadVars(char *file, char *group)

Script Editor Syntax:
loadVars("game.sav", "High Score");

yes, if you use savevars and loadvars it saves the variables you wish to save or load in a seperate 'file' so that they can be loaded by a seperate exe or ged.
you need to set a group to the variable, then saveVars("save", lives); would save all the variables which belong to the group 'lives' into a file named 'save'.
to load these use loadVars("save", lives);

(may need "" around the lives bit, just use the ready made function thing in script editor anyway

)

any help?
