I havn't made a game you can save in yet, so i'm not sure this is completly accurate.

You make a textnumber, much like the highscores, and make it so when you reach a save point (or if it autosaves every second do a draw actor event) you change the textnumber. You save it, just like the highscores, and make it load from startup. Make a create actor event to load this. Then when the player starts the game, make some "if...then" statements to start him at a different point in the game.

If theres stuff he might or might not have, like an inventory, you make a new variable or textnumber for each item, then make it to the variable/textnumber is always equal to the amount of that item he has. I think you can figure the rest.

If theres any other way to do this, I would like to hear about it, cause this takes sooooo long to do, kinda annoying.
