save and restart

[mrgame]

i need a way to
(1) RESTART THE GAME
(2) create either a save/load option
(2) or create checkpoitns ( walk over the check point then when u die you go back to there but everything els is the same as then)
eg say i kill a monster and move a box. the box goes back to where it was and the enimy is not dead or perhaps not ever created ect..

To restart the game, just use the loadGame function from the list in script editor.

There is basic save and load function based on one memory slot and advanced save/load based on stuff Sparky is specialised in. Which one you need?

You can create two new variables ,saveX and saveY and calibrate them everytime you collide with a checkpoint.

u see what i wanted was when i touch a checkpoint and die. it reloads the game from that point
everything like health and where the enimys were i need it to actuly load from that point so is it possible?

[Troodon]

Yeah, sure!
Just save the health and stuff variables just like the coordinate variables.

Create checkpoints should be no.3...
To restart the game, use LoadGame function like Mike said...
You could make checkpoints with LoadGame,saveVars and loadVars functions...maybe
make cp variable...(cp=checkpoints),global and save it in a group ("atr" for example)
When player collide with checkpoint1 :

Code: Select all

cp++;
saveVars("data.dat","atr");
LoadGame("MIssion1CheckPoint1.exe");

And destroy checkpoint1 actor when it collided with your player...
In Mission1CheckPoint1 of any character, CreateActor, ScriptEditor

Code: Select all

loadVars("data.dat","atr");

I'm not try it yet...but it should work...
