Another Noob Question

[AidanHawke]

Okay so how do I save information from frame to frame? If each frame uses different Events and Active Objects and I want to keep, for instance, the info of a player as he switches frames how do I keep that info? I tried an Array, but that doesn't seem to work (unless I'm doing it wrong) This stems from not being able to figure out how to have a character enter a house on one frame, switch to house interior frame, then when he exits go back to the original frame in front of the door he entered. I figured just throw a flag on or alterable value after he enters, and then just Set Position to X,Y, but it doesn't seem to work.

Questions go in technical support, but try Global values/events.

An array work as long as you save it to disc and load it back up in the new frame, but for this purpose global values and strings would be easier and more effective. An array is great when there are very much information that need to be saved, or if information needs to be saved even if the user closes the game.

You save the positions when the player leaves the frame and load them to the player when he enters.

You can either use two global values, one for xposition and one for yposition, or you can use a global string and save both values with some character between, and use stringparser2 to load the values. You can rename the global values in the properties window for your application to make it easier to remember what you used the global values for.

You could make an object's values save from frame to frame by checking the 'global object' box. Or, you could use an ini to easily save and load an object.
