I would like to know a bit about the LoadVar/Save var commands & how to use them...

You can use saveVars and loadVars to save and load any variables in your game, like highscores, current lives...

To use this functions, you must use the "Save group" field in the "Add New Variable" panel (Variable button in Script Editor).

For example, you create a score variable and put on the "High Score" group.

Now, you create more two variables, lives and energy, and put on "Actor State" group.

When your player die, you can use saveVars("game.sav", "High Score"); to save only the current player high score without save the player state.

When the user exit your game, you can use saveVars("game.sav", "Actor State"); to save the current player state (lives and energy).

Note, you can save different variable groups in a same file (game.sav).


Now, just use loadVars("game.sav", "High Score"); and loadVars("game.sav", "Actor State"); in the proper location in your game!

thanks...
but like, could you give me an example?
I know this probably chews up your time, but i'm only 13...

What you think to do with save and load vars?

I want to save, or export an object's x/y psoitions.

Load the file: http://game-editor.com/examples/savevars.ged

In the "Create Actor" event, the position will be load
In the "Mouse Button Up" event the position will be save

Click and drag the actor, exit the game and run again.
You actor will go to the las saved position

is there anyway to save an actor's textNumber
(please give examples if possible )

In savevars.ged example you have two Global, real variables (xpos and ypos) saved on "actor position" group.

Create other variable (Global, Real, "actor position" group), save_textnumber.

And update like the xpos and ypos vars:
After load:

textNumber = save_textnumber;

Before save:
save_textnumber = textNumber;

Gee! I understand the stuff just reading those posts...

This forum is a tutorial itself!

hahaha
I only through examples, so you're lucky sourcerer!

Hello !
Sorry for that stupid question (I just woke up and I'm up to just 50 % of my "normal" state) but, Maxslane, why did you put an EventEnable event on MouseButtonDown[Left] ?
Well, I never really knew the use of that event actually ...

It's only a dummy action to use the mouse drag option
