autoload and autosave?

developer6810

I know you have to make a load and save button and push or it won't load or save. Is there a way to make it automatically save and automatically load?

You can put in in any actor you want - even in players actor - it doesn't matter. And yes, Timer resets itself when you change the scene.
You can make additional attribute, call it SaveTime, and put a rule in each scene:

Timer: Every 1 second
Change attribute game.SaveTime to game.SaveTime+1

Rule, if ANY:
game.SaveTime is equal to: 60
game.SaveTime is equal to: 120
game.SaveTime is equal to: 180
etc.
Put your save behaviors here.

This will autosave every one minute, and it won't reset timer.

Just put Save behaviors somewhere in the scene - don't make any rule or anything. This will autosave the game, when scene opens. You can also put in inside Timer, so it saves every 60 seconds, or something like that.
Autoload works similar.

So by putting it in the scene, do you mean making an invisible actor that's on each scene (if you mean that, wouldn't the timer reset each time you change the screen)?

And for load, would you only put it on the main menu screen in an invisible actor?

Sorry really new to GS.

Then wouldn't you have to make an infinite number of multiples of 60 as the longer they play you have to keep adding to the rule when SaveTime keeps increasing?

You can I wrote the simplest idea that came to my mind.

For the autoload, I would put it in your first scene - with your logo, menu, or something like this. You can put Load behaviors into background actor.

How would you make infinite ones then? (thanks for your help I really appreciate it)

How exactly would you make an infinite number of events in a rule? (thanks for your help)
