Hello,
Is there a way to store any given object's variables into a string or list and then restore them at given time?

obj/var/StoredString

obj/proc/StoreVariables()
    src.StoredString=initial(src.StoredString)
    for(var/v in src.vars)
        if(src.vars[v]!=initial(src.vars[v]) && issaved(src.vars[v]))   src.StoredString+="&[v]=[src.vars[v]]"
    src.StoredString=copytext(src.StoredString,2)

obj/proc/RestoreVariables()
    var/list/Params=params2list(src.StoredString)
    for(var/v in Params)    src.vars[v]=Params[v]

Run a for loop through the atom's vars...
for(var/X in vars)
 world<<"MAH VAR! [X]: [vars[X]]" 
 List+=X
 List[X]=vars[X]



They would be restored in a similar manner. Bear in mind that there are certain vars that you can NOT change, and trying to do so will cause errors. You will want to add a check to make sure you aren't screwing anything up.

You could put savefile.ImportText() and savefile.ExportText() to good use.
