OK, I've managed to make this map using a method of clone and instance object for the tiles, but I've come across a problem.

I need to store the object ID, position and angle so it's a complete map.

The problem is Save Object only saves 1 object and not the entire "universe" (which would be faster) and I've tried to use arrays but it hangs and falls over (crashes). (Probably due to it having over 500 objects, it's only 6,500 polygons!)

(Some of you may recognize the map layout).

Can anyone help? I've included the code, its very long though!
Thanks!

I've not yet looked at the code but if your creating a map have you looked into the 'LIMB' commands. If you add each object that you've created to the original as a limb to create your map then the save object will save the entire object and all of its limbs.

EDIT: Nice piece of work too. (I had a look )

Looks like the limb idea is working, thanks.

Never thought about limbs much, always thought they belonged to a character rather than a level!

Never thought the solution would be that simple.
