Any tutorials on Arrays?

I have no idea on how Arrays work. I tell construct to save the layout(?) and when I press a button, load the array it saved, to test level design. To my dismay, this does nothing. How exactly does this work?

Also, I'm stuck between making two different games: 'Crosshair'; The game about avoiding getting shot by a sniper while avoiding many deathtraps and physics traps.

[This has a Thread]

OR

'The Nether'; A game about a man being sent to hell, and having him fight his way out.

I added some little things in-game to tell you how to move and walljump.

Logic: Array saves on the start of layout. Press R to Load the array.

Well, Quicksave doesn't magically use an array just because you want it to.

You can use Quickload to load the state you saved or use "Save/load to disk" action of the system object in order to use permanent savegames.

However the buildin save/load features may cause problems. So it might be better to use your own method.

Think of an array as a table that holds values in each cell. Now it's up to you to do whatever you like with it. In case you didn't check it out yet: Array Object on the wiki.

While I'm not aware of a tutorial specifically targeted at arrays, I do believe the puzzle example I made gives a good practical insight in how to use arrays. Maybe have a look at this cap: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2306601/puzzexam1_array.cap

On a sidenote I advice against using the Advanced Camera plugin, since it's outdated. Linkman himself provided the superior MagiCam plugin. You should get that one instead!

I used Quicksave and Quickload before. It just didn't work with the Advanced Camera thing. I forgot to delete the Quicksave action before I uploaded the cap. XP

Thank you though! I shall read the Wiki and view the cap file of awesome. Thanks for the help!
