Hey what's up? Okay in my name input feature, it saves a text var...
saveVars("Example.ema", "saves");

Now, when I load those vars in another .dat file, (or another ged rather)
loadVars("Example.ema", "saves");

And put this script in a text actor
spritnf(text, "Hello %s", PlayerName);

It doesnt seem to display the players name at all. For some reason (though named the same), the string "PlayerName" is empty even after loading, someone help please

It is probably something in your setup, most likely loading/displaying of the text. Here is an example of it working, if you post your setup it would be easier to tell you what is wrong.

Ahh thanks! it was my saving method :3

EDIT:
I still cant get it to work T.T I used this method:

(Name editor) -> KeyDown -> Return -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

saveVars("irr.sfl", NameInput.text);


Then in the other .ged file I put this in
TextActor -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

loadVars("irr.sfl", "saves");


But when I draw the text, it comes up like this:
"Hello, " thats it o.o it's still blank. I'll look at your demo again because I did rush through it

Edit 2:
Lol... Why did I put saveVars and NameInput.text? >.>

Edit 3:
It works! Thanks skydereign :3
