INI Files

[Aaron90495]

I can't get any values to save in an INI file. If I say 'Start of Frame>INI File> Set Current File to "Level", Set value 4 to item "level" in group "level"', I can't retrieve the value later by using 'Set Counter to ItemValue ("INI", "Health"). What am I doing wrong?

You need to use the same name for saving / loading.

GroupItemValue( "Ini", >Group name<, >Item name<)

Make sure Group name and Item name are the same.

[Player]
Health=100
Level=5
...

Okay, I changed that...it still doesn't load the value, though. When I load the value with the correct name to a counter, the counter automatically gets set to zero.

Can you upload the file? http://www.mediafire.com/

Okay...just something I'm making for fun in 8-bit style.

You forget to load the file. Instead you loaded "Health" ?!

Set Current file to apppath$+"myini.ini"

make sure the file is there in the same folder.

How would I load the file (when the guy collects the 1up)?
