I had just built a function to update text by adding a clone under another one and updating its text. Then tried to add functionality to when the the top text box is removed move all clones up. But when I tried to copy and paste a couple lines of code..

First, it only copied 2 of the 7 lines.

When I pressed CTRL + Z it went back to the stone age, removing hours of work. So I had to reload from a saved copy which didn't have the function I was just working on.

Did you check the undo file?

Double click the file and when it ask's what program to use to open it select Game-Editor.exe .

It will then create a bunch of ged files. Then you go through them to find the one with the changes in.

Saved me on more than one occasion this little feature. :lol:

Yeah. I couldn't figure out how to use the undo file either lol. I rewrote the function and now its better than it was originally
