So once I load the varabiale, it will create the charater chosen?

The variable is just a number until you give it purpose. Just loading it won't do anything.

but how do I give it a purpose?

This is vital to understanding how to use variables. What MrJolteon is talking about is variables don't do anything by themselves. You need to write code that triggers using the value of the variable loaded in for it to work. For example.

Code: Select all

loadVars("save", "save");
// loaded character variable
switch(variable)
{
    case 0: // this code makes it so variable==0 means create player
    // put the create actor code here for player
     break;

    // and so on
    case 1:
    // put the create actor for player2
    break;
}

And no reason for you, to insult the "guy with the loads of hands", he likely just is
Octoman. Mr. Joelton has another, more curious explanation for it...
No, seriously, put your spot more on the second part of my former post. Why not entering
lcl's school-thread, I did it too.
Though he is known as a finish guy, who are suspected for producing Nokia mobiles, beeing
drunken whole the year, and eating Santa Claus' draft animals, he for sure is a nice,
knowledgable and polite guy, who can help not only you a lot !
Think about it,

Cheers !
