I want the players to be able to hit save, and it creates a new savefile (which saves all of the vars of that player when he/she hit save) and then it asks them where to save it(the savefile) to on their computer. They can make as many savefiles as they want. They just got to name em.

As for loading i want a screen to come up and ask them what savefile to load off their computer. Then it will load the savefile.

Thanks in advance.

So are you looking for people to do this for you or trying to figure out how to do it?

I'm too tired to write a snippet right now, so I'll point you in the right direction. Use the ftp() proc to save it to their disk, and use input() as file to get it from the disk.

Either way, this really doesn't belong in off-topic. Probably Newbie Central or Design Philosophy
