How to save game on computer?

How to save game on computer? I need it because my game has 82 levels ( ).

Either you use variables that you save in groups (screenshot) and use the loadVars() and saveVars() functions or you use a file.

he is not saying that he said mean i reach in level 13 than i saved the game then i close it then again i run the game and load the game

If you want to save in which stage you are, create a variable and call it stage. Save it in a group and call it mygroup.
If you are in stage 1, set the variable to 1.

Code: Select all

stage = 1;


If you want to save it use this code:

Code: Select all

saveVars("myfile", "mygroup");


You can write any name instead of myfile. To load the variable use this code:

Code: Select all

loadVars("myfile", "mygroup");


I hope this helps.

Ok, but how can I explain to the program, the variable number (1, 2,...)

[Letchford]

It loads them and there values. Not just the variables! So when you load a variable it is loading the value too!

[Sondise]

What's "myfile"?

[Spidy]

What's "myfile"?

put there your stage file.

Could anybody send me a demo, please, I'm not understanding! Please!

Here is an example.

Yeah, but I wouldn't like to save the actor's positions, i'd like to save its progress in game, for example, in each level there's a crystal and a gem. If i catch the crystal, an actor who blocks the other level will be destroyed, if I close, I'll still have the crystal and the actor destroyed. If I catch the gem, I'll have the gem, and that's it.

[Sondise]

just, it, not the lives, or energy, just progress.

Create a variable and call it got_diamond. If you caught the diamond, change the value to 1.

Code: Select all

got_diamond = 1;
saveVars(...);


If you start the game use this code:

Code: Select all

loadVars(...);
if(got_diamond==1) DestroyActor("diamond");
