Saving and Loading

[GuybrushThreepwood]

How can u save and load ur game? Please help!

[edh]

Hmm. There have been some examples of this, but I'm having trouble finding them right now.

In short, you need to make variables to hold the values that need saving (such as x, y, levels completed etc.) and put them in a save group, so you can save and load with saveVars and loadVars.
If you're more adventurous you can make your own functions to write the data in a file.

I do not understand. A little more explanation would be nice

[BlarghNRawr]

i believe thers a built in demo
it would help you more than people telling you what to do

[GuybrushThreepwood]

Ummm... I dont no which demo yer talkin about. i dont think i have it

[BlarghNRawr]

just press the 'Get Newest Demos' button, and you will have all of them
there should be one named Highscore or something
and you just need to do that with everything that needs saving for the next time the game is played

could someone give a basic step by step process of making a save and load capability?
and also a delete saved data capability?

[DilloDude]

As I said before, it really depends on what sort of game you have, as to what needs to be saved, but I might make a basic tutorial soon, unless somebody else can do it first.

Before you know about how to save and load data, you should know how to make variables (global or actor) first...
Do you already know it???if not, it would hard to explain...

[BlarghNRawr]

not hard to explain...
its hard to learn unless have good instruction
then learn fast ^_^

[j2graves]

I know how to make variables, but I mostly use them as global integers.

[BlarghNRawr]

id ont know how to use those...
what they 4 ?_?

[j2graves]

it's a way of setting conditions for an action. open the script editor window, and then click on the new variables button or whatever it's called. make a new variable and set it to integer global. variables are used to make conditions for events like
if(variable==1)
{actions;}

[BlarghNRawr]

thats what i do...

whats the other one???
