How will i go about doing auto-saving every 5-10 mins? I do realise there is no "the code" for it since i can be done more than 1 way :)

Put this with your world vars
world
    New()
        ..()
        spawn(10) src.Loop()
        
    proc
        Loop()
            while(src)
                sleep(5000) // Change this to the right time acourding to ticks
                for(var/mob/Player/M in world)
                    M.Save

I assume this will work.

Wrong, you can't do a proc under world.
world
  New()
    ..()
    save()
proc
  save()
    while(1)
       sleep(600*5) //Replace the 5 with how many minutes you want
       for(var/mob/m in world)
          if(!m.client)continue
          m.save()


Of course, that works if you didn't make /mob/player typepath or a players list.

Which is unfortunate and hopefully remedied in the future. Anything and everything should be modifiable. I do believe we have suggested this at least once.

Thanks all but

How come do i get these errors

autosave.dm:8: Inconsistent indentation.
autosave.dm:9: Inconsistent indentation.
autosave.dm:10: Inconsistent indentation.
autosave.dm:11: Inconsistent indentation.

This is what i have on lines 8 via to 11

      sleep(3000) //Replace the 5 with how many minutes you want
       for(var/mob/m in world)
          if(!m.client)continue
          m.save()

Don't copy and paste code from the forums. It's messes up the indentation for some reason. Delete those spaces and tab it correctly.

mob/proc/Tick()
usr << "(put ur color code here)(-Auto Save-)"
usr.client.base_SaveMob()
spawn(3000) usr.Tick()

i think u might have to have dedrons char handling to use this auto save code and if u use it plese give me credit

If he uses that, it won't really work, it'll be buggy.
*cough*usr*cough*
Plus it's better to loop through every mob, I think.

autosave.dm:11:error:m.save:undefined var

    m.save()

By using a var that exists instead of m, which quite plainly does not exist. Hence the error.
