Tables Reset

FallacyStudios

Is there any easy way to reset tables? I tried Reset Game, but that doesn't work. Is this something I'm going to have to reset by hand?

If you used the Save Table behavior on that table, you can not reset that table to its original data unless you have a master table with the original table to overwrite your first table. Or manually change each cell with the Change Table Value behavior.

Otherwise if the table has not been saved, a Reset Game should reset the table.

Gotcha. If you don't Save Tables though they automatically reset when you exit the game don't they?

So could an alternative be to copy each of my tables as a non changed (master table) version then simply Copy Table the master table to the game used one as a reset? Would that work? Would that be less intensive on the system compared to resetting each table manually through Change Table Value?

Thanks

You don't need Save Table unless you want table data to be there when they shut the app off and come back later. (Like for local high score tables)
But a master untouched table to overwrite the edited table would work just fine. Its easier to edit than a bunch of Change Table Value behaviors to do a reset.

Yea most the data in all my tables needs to persist after they exit the app and come back so I guess I do need the Save Tables.

I guess I'll do the master table overwrite. I knew it was less work to do I just wanted to make sure overall it was less intensive on the processor. Thanks for answering

Just remember there is a 50 table limit.

Are we sure there is a 50 table limit? I just created 130 of them? Albeit empty, but someone said it stopped at 50. (I am using the free Windows version)....Just curious as it might impact some future stuff...?
