(You are only allowed one Character per Key, creating a new one will delete the old...)","Logging in:","Continue") in list("Continue","Create New Character") //The input command is made so you can get information from whoever is defined and make the variable defined before the input() that value.
if(I == "Continue") //If the player selected continue...
var/savefile/F = new(client.Import()) //Ok, this is an advanced concept so if you get confused by this, skip it because all you really need to know is the format: savefile is a type like mob, obj, turf, area, atom, and so on are. When you create a new savefile, it is saved in the area specified (in this I do not specify a file path because client.Import does it for me.). client.Import will save it in your \BYOND\users\[Your name here]\Keyinfo\ folder... When I get to client.Export (the second part of this, the actual saving of it in other words) I will explain this some more...
if(F)
F["X"] >> X
F["Y"] >> Y
F["Z"] >> Z
Read(F)
if( X )
src.loc = locate( X, Y, Z )
else

return()

if(I == "Create New Character") //If they selected to create a new character or if it couldn't find a savefile which is defined above...
Name_Character()
mob/proc/Name_Character() //This is a proc we called above in Login().
var/N = input("What would you like your name to be?","Name:",key) as text //The input() proc can also be used to get text form the player, or number, type, or whatever!
if(N == ""||N == null) //If the player did not put anything...
alert("You need to enter a name!") //Tell him this...
spawn() //This is used to make loops that could or do go on forever not crash. You can also put a delay in 1/10s of a second in the arguments to make it wait before calling the proc that is called after it.
Name_Character() //And make him do it again!
else //If the player did enter something...
if(length(N) < 25) //Here is that old length() proc again. This time it checks to make sure the player's name he defined isn't too long.
name = N //Make that mob's name into what the player wanted it to be.
else
//If it is too long...
alert("Your name was too long, it must be below 25 characters!") //Do this stuff again:
spawn()
Name_Character()
usr.loc=locate(2,2,1)
mob/proc/Save_Character() //Ok, now back to the saving stuff. The type of savefiles we are using are unique because they are client-side savefiles, meaning you can login to someone elses server and still have your character.
var/savefile/F = new() //This makes a new savefile. The variable F now means the savefile...
Write(F) //The Write proc, like the Read proc will do savefile saving for you. This however, unlike Read(), will save the players mob that he/she has into the savefile specified.
client.Export(F) //This will put that savefile into your \BYOND\users\[Your name here]\Keyinfo\ folder.
src << "[src.name] saved." //Tell the src that it has been saved.
F["X"] << src.x
F["Y"] << src.y
F["Z"] << src.z
mob/Player/verb/Save() //We gotta let the player do it manually, right?
set category = "Commands"
src.Save_Character() //Save the character with the proc we defined above.
var
X
Y
Z
I
Now creating characters works all fine and dandy, BUT when I continue I jsut get a black screen!
Please help!
