Gents,
Let's say I've got a few situations I need to keep track of in-game, like whether or not the hero has visited six specific locations and I want to trigger some kind of event once the they've set foot on the sixth.
Now, I can think of several ways to do it.
One, I can create a global script variable called "numVisits" and bump it up every time they first enter the relevant rooms. Two, I can stick a custom property on each room and flag it once the player enters, then loop through the rooms and check. Or three, I can do some variation of the above.
Now, I'd wager that custom properties and special states of each object get saved when a game is saved automatically, but what about script variables? Can I globally declare a few int counters and rely on them being the same values I set them to during gameplay when the game is restored?
Hope this makes sense, and thanks in advance.

Everything you can declare or change will get saved. All variables, all character positions, object views, everything. It's to work as a 'save' feature afterall, so you can save, quit and continue from the exactly same spot when you next time start the game...
