I need help saving/loading objects

[rotciv01]

So I've been trying to make one of those drill digging games but on a bigger scale. I want to be able to include a skill tree and "inventory" which would be on a separate side from the main board. I have the issue of when you open your inventory or skill tree (Which swaps to the other frames) Then you close them (Which returns to the main board frame) All your digging progress is lost. I've tried saving and loading the frame but then I can't have the actual upgrade tree because it collides with the global numbers. I've been trying to use Ini but I can't get it to save the positions of every block.

I think you should look into using Arrays, it's better suited for saving more and complex stuff.
Problem is also when you switch frames, fusion almost reboots, it wipes all info and starts creating again. You can either save every block and enemy position or do it in another way.

What I would do in your situation is to not have the inventory or skill in other frames, i would have them on different layers that I hide and show. This way you dont even need to save the blocks, u can just pause every game event (which can be done simply by having every gameplay related thing in one group, then when users press I (or whatever key) for inventory, it disables that group and shows the inventory layer with your buttons or info).

I usually do

Layer 0 = background pics
Layer 1 = gameworld
Layer 2 = skill trees
Layer 3 = HUD

It sounds a bit complicated and it might take you a while to wrap your head around but it's not that hard as soon as you get the logic .

Actually that's amazing. Before you commented I just said screw it I'm going to build everything on one frame, so what I'm doing is I made the map a bit bigger and pretty much put the inventory over there, but your method seems much easier xD. Thanks!

So I'm doing this now but when I run the application the counters for the inventory don't pop up. They are showing when I'm making them. When I move them into the default view field and run the application they then show up and follow my screen.

You could remove the check mark "Follow the frame" and your counter objects should follow your screen again if you have them in the default view.

Like wodjanoi said
Mark your objects then in properties remove "Follow the frame". When u do that the objects stay in the screen location (instead of the frame location) no matter what you do in the game world.
