Named Variable object problem

[gamer4fun]

yo!
i'm really trouble with the named variable obj.

i used a lot of these objects, to store numbers data.

first question, i turned the object as "global", but i dont know how to use it in all frames. how i do that?

and second, how i save its values to an external file? i tried to use the save actions of the Named Variable object, but it create an empty file.

Place the object in all frames you want and check the option Make array global. If you want an object has to be global, its name must be the same in every frame. In Sub-Applications it's not a condition to check Global values & strings, it works even without.


Your second question is a little bit harder...

Maybe this... Before you can add to/subtrct from etc. values you have to set the values, otherwise they will not be created in the array. Use this sequence to save data:

1. Add/modify value
2. Add to / Subtract from etc. value
3. Save array file

ow! thank u!

i saved all my values in the Alterable Values of the named variable array :P

that's why it's values never became global

[gamer4fun]

another question.

in order to add data to this array, i need to create the KEY, right?

how many keys the object can handle? infinite?

[James]

Probably as many as you need- the more keys you have, the longer it will take to read a key (but we are talking fractions of milliseconds).

[gamer4fun]

i think i will need 100 or 200 values.

[Gustav]

That should be no problem.

One of my current projects handle over 2.500 values with the Named Variable. And if it's finished it has to handle over 10.000 values. The time show it. :grin:

10.000 is the same as 10, but 10,000 is a lot! (Atleast because I'm in America...)

Yes ... www.pooltycoon.de

It's an isometric game like Rollercoaster Tycoon but you have to build an indoor swimming pool. It's still in work for the next year and only then more infos will be released.

It will be in german and english.
