Ok, i have searched and searched and I can't find a way to save my entire game... global values, alterable values, and object positions. I have tried the Save Game object but that seems only able to save alterable values and object positions. I am making a very complex game that u need to be albe to save the whole thing. Is there a way to do this? If not will there ever be one?
Thanks
Have you tried MMF2's built in save feature?
Hi Hazzow. There are several objects to save your values. To name a few, Array, INI, INI++ (more user friendly than INI), Associative Array (uses keys as in Nivram=duffus, and can be made global to carry over info in sub-applications).

Ah ok, I already know it, but it only saves the current frame, not the entire application status, right?
Its going to save everything
Including the global values and strings
That's good news for me, Jeff. The documentation of MMF2 isn't very clear about what exactly the frame "position" includes.
So, basically saving the frame position is equivalent to the "save state" feature of some games (and emulators)?
But if I have many global values set via Expression Editor (for example: Character number * 100 + 1 is the global Health, + 2 is the global Weapon, etc.) the save frame position feature is going to save those too?
it will save whatever the current value is of that global value/string. Once you load it again your events can modify what data is stored in them exactly as when you left of.
Personally I store everything in arrays/inis as (as far as i am aware) the save frame feature doesnt allow the saving of these objects (as well as the Advanced pathinding objects current data)
If the game is very complex as Hazzow was saying, you'll probabily want to use INIs.
