App crash with INI

[camelman]

I'm making a "world map" (4 maps total) for my game. I am using an INI to save position of character, number of levels completed, and which map the player is currently in. I also have a load game feature in the title screen, and I use counters to retrieve the correct data from the INI(to make conditions). But for some reason, whenever I make the event:

Start of frame: "set counter to GroupItemValue( "Ini", "MapData", "Grassland"

and try to run the game, I get an error window saying something happened and the app will have to be closed. I have tried remaking this several times now, and the same thing keeps happening. I open the INI text file and all of the data is stored perfectly, but I cant set that data to a counter without crashing the app. I've Never had this problem before, anyone know whats up? Thanks for any help.

That's definitely unusual... first, are you sure that the INI object is pointed at the right file? And what are the contents of this INI file?

Lol I hate how everytime I make a post I find out the problem not 5 minutes later.. The problem is that I was trying to load the INI data onto the counter at "Start of frame". I moved it to when player highlights "loadfile" and now there isn't any problems. Wierd huh? BTW the INI contents weren't complicated at all it was basically:

[mapdata]
pos.Mapplayer=66,61
Map1?=1
Map2?=0
Map3?=0
Map4?=0
Levelcompleted=1

dunno if that would be useful to figuring out why you can't use counters+ini at start of frame but there it is :P

Do you have a Fade In transition? In that case it's probably because the INI doesn't have "Create before Fade In transition" checked.

Yeah I do actually, makes sense. I'll try that in a sec.
