i try to make a new thinking app witch already hit the play store
i just updated my app to versioncode 9
with a save / load attribute
the way i did it is make a new actor and save attribute with integer or boolean in the first
and load attribute at the start menu
does this sounds right
or am i doing something wrong
i want my app to continue the game when you close it and open it up again
i think my method works but i am not sure about if is the right way to do it

You have two ways to save , either by saving attributes using save and load behaviours
save attribute game.aaa to key "xx"
load key "xx" to attribute game.aaa
the best way to load is to place the actor at the first scene for example on the loading scene ( if you have any). make sure you type the key between quotes "" if you open the expression editor , otherwise no need to worry about it.
If you want to check/test whether your game is loading or not simply reset your game via GS viewer. It works like quitting/opening the app.
You can also save using tables , which is how i usually save everything cause it doesn't require you to load and its easy to reset/copy tables.Its really simple but might look confusing if your not familiar with tables.
hey guys i´m working on an update for my game
where you can save and load position
so that when you close down you app
it starts up from where you left
i´m on the windows version of gamesalad btw
anyone with a good heart that can help
There is a behavior called "Save Attribute". You can use this to save an attribute to a key say for example "Save Attribute" -> position as "Key" -> playerPosition. Then in your menu or splash screen have an actor with a "Load Attribute" behavior in it which says From Key -> playerPosition, "Load Attribute" -> position. Hope this helps

Or use tables. Tables are a lot more powerful and flexible. Also, you can save all the scene's data in one table.
With save attribute, you need to remember all of your keys and it quickly becomes a mess.

@ghettogames There are two main ways of saving to and loading from in GameSalad. They are Tables And Attributes (or a combination of both). These cookbook tutorials and forums should help:

You want to learn the save attribute behavior.
