Hello all. I feel really dumb asking for help about this, but here goes. Could someone explain to me, step my step, how to use in default ini object to save and load vaules in an rpg. Nothing fancy, just something like this;
*Upon pressing "L"
~load all values to ini object~
and
*Upon pressing "S"
~save all values to ini object~
I don't understand how groups work as I don't really need more then one group. I just want to pull/record values from counter objects. Please help!

Here's how INI's are arranged
[GROUP]
Item=value
Item2=Value
[Group2]
Item=Value
Item2=Value
From this, you should be able to figure out how to use the INI object, just make sure you set the group first. There's a bit more to it, but I'm late as it is, so if noone answers by tomorrow, I'll go in depth.
Craps, I'm an old man!

Thank you very much for your reply, but I still can't seem to get it.
I have three counter objects;
currentHP
maxHP
money
Could someone write out an exsample using my counter names please?

Ok, here's what you do
Start of level----Set file to Appdrive$ + Appdir$ + Name of game
Set current group to...Health or whatever
Set current Item to...Health counter
Set current value to...value of Health counter

Weill , as I see it, there's no need for groups, you just:
Upon pressing "S"
set current item to "currentHP"
set current value to (and then choose the corresponding counter)
set current item to "maxHP"
set current value to (and then choose the corresponding counter)
set current item to "money"
set current value to (and then choose the corresponding counter)
For loading, I don't remember if the normal INI object can get a value from a specific item or you have to download ini plus

you can make it nice and tidy if you do this
make sure the ini object is in the frame you want.
make a group (event group i mean) that is deactivated by default.
then upon pressing 'L' activate group
then the group looks like this
always - set group (ini) to stats
always - set item to hitpoints
always - set value to counter 1
always - set item to money
always - set value to counter 2
always - close group
done.

Thanks everyone. I know how to use ini files now. However, I have a new question. When I load or save I'm need to read/write data from over 40 different counter ojbects.
How fast does tgf read/write to inis? Is it safe to read/write so many values in one command? I'm worried tgf might hicup and skip one of ini changes.
Any advice?

I would say it is pretty safe. For me, tgf has never skipped my events/actions.
P.S. sorry for my mangled english.

For simplicity, you may choose to spread the saving process over more than one event. So instead of having one event that saves all 40 values, it may be better to have four events that save 10 values each.
Just makes it easier for you to read and edit in the Event Editor.
191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7
