Simple SaveLoad Question (SOLVED)

[vjamesv]

I am trying to use the

Simple Save & Load 1.0. 

I imported the gui, and tried saving the game and got the following message:

---------------------------
Compile Error
---------------------------
There was an error compiling your script. The problem was:

In: 'Global script'



Error (line 470): Undefined token 'SaveLoad'



Do you want to fix the script now? (Your game has not been saved).
---------------------------
Yes   No   
---------------------------

How do i define SaveLoad, and where do I define it?  I don't know if it should be an int or a string...  I really just want a simple load and save gui where i can define the colors, and i think i will be asking a lot fewer questions if i can just get this script to work as opposed to making one from scratch...  thanks

It'd help if you posted what line 470 is.

SaveLoad doesn't have to be an int or String, it could be a GUI or GUI Control*. That module comes with a couple of GUIs, you need to have all of them imported for it to work - have you?

*Or a Character, Object, Inventory Item, Overlay ... Any Pointer or variable type in fact, but GUI or GUI Control is more likely here.

EDIT: OK, I've had a look at the module. SaveLoad looks to be a struct declared in the module header - if you've imported the module as well as the GUIs you shouldn't get this error. Can you just check what line 470 is?

Okay, yes I have imported all three GUIs.  When i import the save and load ones i get this warning:

---------------------------
AGS Editor Warning
---------------------------
The imported GUI's script name clashed with an existing item in the game, so the GUI's name has been removed.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Here is what i put in the on_key_press of my global script:

#sectionstart on_key_press  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function on_key_press(int keycode) {

  if (keycode==363) gNewsave.Visible = true;   // F5

  if (keycode==365) gNewload.Visible = true;  // F7
 



Now when I save I get this message:

---------------------------
Compile Error
---------------------------
There was an error compiling your script. The problem was:

In: 'Global script'



Error (line 466): undefined symbol 'deletedSave'



Do you want to fix the script now? (Your game has not been saved).
---------------------------
Yes   No   
---------------------------


So here is line 466(and the surrounding ones as well...):

#sectionstart btnDeleteconfirmYes_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function btnDeleteconfirmYes_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
  DeleteSaveSlot(deletedSave);
  lstRestoreList.FillSaveGameList();
  lstSaveList.FillSaveGameList();
  if (lstSaveList.ItemCount > 0) txtSaveInput.Text = lstSaveList.Items[lstSaveList.SelectedIndex];
  else txtSaveInput.Text = "";
  gDeleteconfirm.Visible = false;
  txtSaveInput.Enabled = true;
 
}
#sectionend btnDeleteconfirmYes_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE


Thanks for being on now Ashen.  The weekend has finally arrived and I am hoping to get the games scripts all working so i can get a beta version of the game out.  Thank you.

[Ashen]

Again, deletedSave is declared in the module ... Obvious question here, but you HAVE imported the module as well as the GUIs, right? I can't think why else you'd be getting errors with its declarations.

[vjamesv]

yeah that was the problem.  sorry.  it did not save, and i reloaded the game.  thanks ashen!
