Checking if a File Has Been Saved

[MrXkill]

I was working on a game, and I was wonderinf if there was a way to check to see if a file is on the user's hard drive. I would like the game to know if the user has a save game, or if the game needs to create one.

Thanks,

Use the File Object's condition "Name Exists" in condition with "Name is a File" (so as not to detect folders)

Thanks LB! I just have a few more questions:

First, What should the name be? Should it be the file name I want to check for, or its name and location?

ie "savegame" or "appdrive$+appdir$+'savegame'"


Also, should I put the file extension in the name too?

ie "savegame.ini" (I probably will not use ini files since they are easy to edit, but hypothetically)

Lastly, how do I do the opposite statement. What if the file does not exist?

Thanks again,

MrXkill

1. You can use either relative paths (same directory: "my file.txt" or ".\my file.txt", subdirectory: "Saves\my file.txt" etc...) or full paths ("C:\Program Files\My Game\Saves\my file.txt"), and it doesn't matter.

2. A file name includes the extension. The "extension" of a file is just an abstract concept of 'that text after the last dot' and is not separate from the file name.

3. Just right click on the condition and choose 'Negate' like with all negatable conditions
