My game is cool, but i want to make a save point, now it's quite easy to have the code like:
if pbject collision (character,savepoint)
but what sort of code will save the character and everything?
And how could i load it?

Any suggestions?

Yes i have been trying to do the same thing.
I think this is actually very possible to do, not sure what codes to look up but if i go back to the manual there has to be something there.
There has to be a special code to do this, i just know it.
Unless someone else has learnt this and can help you, but for now i cant help you.

I know my codes - i am now more advanced with DBP-
Ask me any question (um not to do with online though :0)

Check out the file access commands, it just involves saving all your variables to a file then loading them all again when loading.

OPEN TO WRITE, and WRITE FILE (integer), WRITE FLOAT (real) and WRITE STRING (strings) should do the trick.

c:/dos
c:/dos run
run dos run

Hi,
i am new in the forum but i have wored for a while in DBPro,
and i belive the best way to make a save is by simply
writing the coordinates and angle of all the objects into a file
and when you load simply position and rotate the objects according to the data.

if you mean that you want the animation to match the movment then:
1)if the movment and animation are fast enaugth nobody will notice when you change animations with direction, so it will look perfectly normal.
2)if the movment or animation isnt fast then you can make transition animations, example: "walk to stand","stand to walk","walk to leftwalk" and so on...

if this is not what you ment then please explain yourself.

To turn an object simply change it's Y angle, to tile change it's X angle.

c:/dos
c:/dos run
run dos run
