Hi i have manage to make one load and save slot.
But i want to make it possible to save your game in a noter slot so you can decide what saved game you want to play ?

Best regard's

    I think this can be done. What you will have to do is use a combination of save attributes to save the game. Then, when the user opens the app up again, ask them if they want to continue, or start a new game. If they say continue, load the previous game attributes. If they say new game, start the game over, but don't change the save attributes. Then you will have to create another set of those save attributes and save the new game data to those attributes. This sounds like a lot of work to me, and I wouldn't recommend doing it until arrays come out in GameSalad. Hope this helps :)

    pretty sure you can do this with one save and load attribute with different keys. not alot of work.

    i may be understanding this wrong but would'nt you need to have the exact same save file...as in saveison1 and saveison2 aswell so each one links to the specific load hence saving to different files and loading 2 different files... i know it doubles up on each rule which needs to be saved but then im not sure how else you could make it efficient .. ill need to think it through but well defo post back if i think of something and know one else does... these threads are generally beneficial to anyone who's making games.
