You probably won't see this because you stormed off, but you are being pretty harsh considering you only have four posts. You have asked for my help, and I gave it to you. If you did not understand I can always make demos. There are plenty of pong games that work, and you have only asked two questions. The first you complained about the support not being here, where the forum is meant for your questions. The second was about 3d, and I answered that. There won't be 3d for gameEditor, not for a long time. So what are you talking about? If I didn't explain myself, sorry I can try again if you permit, but it doesn't seem you asked many people, maybe you pm'd them so I don't know about it.

All you need to do is make a post on the forum and someone will get to you. I have made a demo that I know works. There are some things you might consider bugs but this is a demo of saving. If anything is not to your specifications, than I can fix them or add things. I could get a copy of gameEditor if I wanted, maybe even without paying with the point policy. The problem is my use of Linux. I will hopefully have a virtual machine running windows soon and may get myself a copy. Anyway how you use this may differ, I don't know if you require a menu.

The variables
playerX
playerY
Score

These are all ints and they are all in the save group vars. Now, when you click the save button, mouse button down (left), there is a script.

Code: Select all

playerX = player.x;
playerY = player.y;
saveVars("vars.sav", "vars");

The first two lines are required as you need to use those variables set so you can save the actors position. The third line is very important. It saves a file, "vars.sav", with the variables in the group, "vars". Now you have saved your game. Now to load your previous save, you have to restart the game. The create event for the view has the following code.

Code: Select all

loadVars("vars.sav", "vars");
player.x = playerX;
player.y = playerY;

The loadVars function is very similar to the saveVars, but instead it loads the specified file into the specified group. Since playerX is now what you want the real player's x to be, you must set it as such. Same goes for the y. The Score does not need to be set, as it is not tied to an actor variable, like x and y. If you have any questions, I can help you.
