Hey peoples!
I'm working on a rather... big project, and i've encountered a problem. You see, there's about almost 50 values (and counters) during the game, each is somehow interlinked with each other. (I haven't experimented with the problem, as i've been away from my comp' When the user goes to 'save', how can I save all the values, each under their own identification (like name) so they may be individually loaded. (So basically, a easier way to do this, and if this idea would work) Here is an idea that i had, but it probably is flawed. Heres an eg:
-Set group "resources"
-Set item "grain"
-Set value to Counter<grain>
-Set item "timber"
-Set Value to Counter<timber>
... (and so it repeats for 50 more times  )
As you can guess,this is a very long time consuming idea, and it probably doesn't work anyways. I have comptimplated using the loop object, (I've never used it before and am unsure if it will suit this problem)
Sorry if it's hard to understand, but if anyone has trouble, I'll make it a lil easier  .
Thanks for your time

So do u want a faster way of doing that? instead of doing it 50 times?

I take it you're using TGF and INI, right? Get the INI+ object, it can do stuff like "Set Value of item 'grain' in group 'Resources' to 3" for example, as well as the usual INI stuff.
The MMF INI can do all this anyway.

Perhaps it's 1.5 only or something. It's http://membres.lycos.fr/virtuaart/MMfusionGfactory/iniplus.zip if you need it, though

Ahh, thanks Shen. After thinkign about that, that will work...
So, it would go a little like this -
Wait... But i'd first have to create "Grain" and all those items in the .ini file first before i can save those values... But, I spose that wouldn't take too long...
Thanks anyways dude
