Do you mean it's variables are wiped when it's loaded? Because if so, there's a very simple reason; from the code you've posted, you're not saving the mob, just its name. =)

When the character creation is complete, the values in the Stat() window become null. Please run this in an enviroment to understand the issue. I have already asked several programmers who did not understand why this was happening.

I have already asked several programmers who did not understand why this was happening. They're clueless if they can't figure this one out. Nothing appears in your Stat() because src.name is never set by Login(). Login() has to call ..() or perform most of the same tasks in order to set a name and gender for your character. And as Crispy said, this save system isn't saving anything but the name. Not especially useful. Lummox JR | |

At the moment the default action is said to be placing the mob on the map and setting client.statobj to the mob. | |

So the problem is isolated to my Login() proc?
Could you please give me an example of how I can fix this error? | |
