  • I have game settings and I'm just trying to make it to where they don't need to be set every time you load the game. So I was just hoping I could with one event and one action, just store everything needed.

    In this example, the state of the sound is preserved.

    You can also save any of your variables.

    Not quite what I'm looking for, I understand saving one thing at a time, but is there a way to save all of them in one action and then recall them all in one actions, because I need multiple variables and I just don't want this to look super long on my event sheet.

    Would doing something like Set Key: "Variables" Value: Variable 1 | Variable 2 | Variable 3

    Then whenever I load the Key "Variables" somehow set all the Variables to the values it stored? Is there anyways to do that that I'm not thinking of, or do I genuinely have to do this one variable at a time?

  • Put your global variables in a dictionary and save the dictionary. You are probably better off accessing global variables through function calls to a dictionary since it won't cloud up the global space.

    Just a suggestion.

  • I also recommend a dictionary in this case. You can then save it with Dictionary.asJSON

    Would doing something like Set Key: "Variables" Value: Variable 1 | Variable 2 | Variable 3

    This works but isn't as clean. You'd do

    variable1 & "|" & variable2 & "|" & variable3
    

    And when you get them back you'd

    Set variable 1 to tokenat(valuefromstorage, 0, "|")
    Set variable 2 to tokenat(valuefromstorage, 1, "|")
    Set variable 3 to tokenat(valuefromstorage, 2, "|")

    Okay, so yes, save and load each of them one at a time.

    Set variable 2 to tokenat(valuefromstorage, 1, "|")
    Set variable 3 to tokenat(valuefromstorage, 2, "|")
    

    ...wouldn't this be how you save them with a dictionary though? like it's either this or doing each of them one at a time right?

    Like if I don't do it that first way then wouldn't it be:

    On Button Click:

    Set Key: "Variable 1" Value: Variable 1

    Set Key: "Variable 2" Value: Variable 2

    ...and so on

    You can create a separate event sheet for functions and place the "Save_Global_Variable" function on it

    And then just call it everywhere in the code, it will look more elegant.
