Another Savefile Thread

Could someone code an example of a script that checks if the user has a savefile, if he does it loads it, and if he doesn't it creates and saves a new one. Only save and load an example variable like x or something.

Normally I wouldn't ask somebody else to code something for me, but I give up on savefiles.

I think using the fexist procedure will solve your problems.

Sorry for the long reply. I know of fexist, but thats not my problem. My problem is the placing of a save/load script, may someone please show an example of one that manipulates an example variable (like x or something).

Read chapter 12 of the byond guide that should clear it up.

client/New()
    var/player_sav = "players/[ckey].sav"
    if(fexists(player_sav))        //if player savefile exists
        var/savefile/F = new(player_sav) //open it
        F >> usr    //create saved mob
    return ..()    //creates a new mob if necessary

mob/Logout()
    var/player_sav = "players/[ckey].sav"
    var/savefile/F = new(player_sav)
    F << src //Save the mobs savable vars.
    del src //delete the mob at the end of their logout.

Is that what you are talking about ?
