Subapp and global objects

[RayMarble]

In my app the subapp just ignores the globality of global objects: the global objects behave as if I pressed F7 to run the subapp from another TGF window (global values etc work normally though, since the subapp has all the "share"s checked). Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

If this is how it's meant to be what's the most practical way of forwarding the state of the global objects: saving them all to disk and loading them from subapp?

Yes it's normal, only global values, global strings, scores and lives are shared between a sub-application and its parent application. Objects are not shared.

saving them all to disk and loading them from subapp?

Or maybe use global values?

Hm, the subapp was meant as an inventroy (which is in turn stored in an array), so I'll have to investigate what happens to arrays etc. As for the rest, I'll use global values - thanks :-)

The AssArray can also share values with sub-applications, if it is global, and the array is placed in the parent frame and the frame with the sub-application.

Edit: oops...not sure TGF can use AssArray. Sorry.

[RayMarble]

No, can't. Also I'm trying to make the whole game just with the default stuff that comes with TGF, let's see if I can do it :-)

Ok, best of luck on your project.
