(Help) Save backdrops

[SuperKid]

I sure that this its realy hard or even imposible.. maybe someone of you know..

i making a "Level maker of a game"... now i need the save and load... the problem its that part of the objects are backdrops.. and i have no idea how make them save... someone can help me please?

[SEELE]

possible... however a little advanced you would need to have the backdrops pasted or added by moving actives.

if your not confident in mmf2 you might be waisting your time.

Sorry.. i dont understand what you mean.. i already can make level and al work.. the problem its to save... i have no idea how to make it because the sav e object or a ini file can save only avtive objects..

You need to keep track of the state of your level in some sort of data storage extension (such as an Array or ByteArray), and load and save from this, rather than relying on the object layout of your level directly.

oh.. i understand what you said But there its another little problem.. i made a way to delete them and emmm,.. what you saying.. its a little long.. but you right... i still have no idea how to make it.. but you right xD you mean something that
When Create The BackDrop.. automatic save the place of it... and after just load the place of them... m... ok.. but when load... its like i made 10 backdrops.. when load how i make that will be 10?... sorry i new on this

okey basically.

[saving]
+spread a value among the important object

+start a loop

-on loop
-spread ed value = loop index
put x + y + any other relevant data somewhere (perhaps a position in an array based on the loop index)

[loading]


+start a loop


-on loop
-create object &
set x and y from where ever you put them.


That is about the only generic parts to it... beyond that I'll need to know how you intend on storing it.

VEEEERY Best of Luck(you'll need it).

lol i will need it xD

I will make something like this.. i making a counter that have the number of items.. and wen create a item save like BackDrop + value count X = something and the same for Y and in make something like Total = Counter... and thn make a loop to create objects and make their place

Ow.. i found a problem... cant make that the name of the ini thing will take a value of another object :S

ow i found what it is.. when i make there "Floor"+val("Count") it says me that sring + value.. so cant be.. and when i put with , it writes only the Floor part... so i need how make that and that

It says: Please enter an alphanumeric expression when i put NObjects( "Floor" )

[Random]

"Floor"+val("Count")

here you want
"Floor" + value("Count")

Please enter an alphanumeric expression when i put NObjects( "Floor" )

Here you want Str$(NObjects( "Floor" ))
