Title: Deleting entries?
Post by: Kennedy on Thu 11/09/2003 07:46:05
Is it possible to delete entries in an AGS game?
The only entries I was able to delete were sprites and GUIs.
I couldn't delete characters or inventory items or anything else.


I understand not letting the programmer delete the first couple of cursors as they are probably neccessary for the functioning of the game.

If there're things that cant be deleted, just reuse them. It's never recommended to delete anything even if that's possible.

I remeber CJ talking about deleting some things in AGS could be dangerous, as it can screw your game or something... And I believe the manual would cover deleting characters if that could be done... :P

Until recently, it didn't allow you to delete sprites either. Since adding support for that, and seeing the resulting problems where people delete ones that are still in use (despite the warning), I am loathe to add any further deletion functions - sorry.

As Gilbert says, you can just re-use the character or whatever instead of creating a new one at a later date.

Once I started looking for delete-button in the dialog editor, after I had had a little brake from AGS... the I remembered the warning... :P
