Saving game doesn't work for me

[Pollux]

Hi there,

Even moar dumb questions are coming.

I made the Main Menu in the game and it almost 100 % works, expect ... saving and load the game.

When I click "Uložit" ("to save" in czech language), nothing happens... no response

I totally don't understand how coding works So I literally stolen the script from the Sierra template, but it works there, so why it doesn't for me?

The Save button does this:

Code: ags

function btnSaveGame_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  int gameSlotToSaveInto = find_save_slot(txtNewSaveName.Text);
  if (gameSlotToSaveInto < 0)
  {
   Display("No more free save slots!");
   return;
  }
  SaveGameSlot(gameSlotToSaveInto, txtNewSaveName.Text);
  //gSaveGame.Visible = false;
  
}

Also here is everything in my code to save related - you can check if I miss something here:

Code: ags

//stuff

function show_save_game_dialog()
{
  gSaveGame.Visible = true;
  // Get the list of save games
  lstSaveGamesList.FillSaveGameList();
  if (lstSaveGamesList.ItemCount > 0)
  {
    // If there is at least one, set the default text
    // to be the first game's name
    txtNewSaveName.Text = lstSaveGamesList.Items[0];
  }
  else
  {
    // No save games yet, default empty text.
    txtNewSaveName.Text = "";
  }
  mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModePointer);
  gInventory1.Visible = false;
}

function show_restore_game_dialog()
{
  gRestoreGame.Visible = true;
  lstRestoreGamesList.FillSaveGameList();
  mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModePointer);
  gInventory1.Visible = false;
}

function close_save_game_dialog()
{
  gSaveGame.Visible = false;
  mouse.UseDefaultGraphic();
  gInventory1.Visible = true;
}

function close_restore_game_dialog()
{
  gRestoreGame.Visible = false;
  mouse.UseDefaultGraphic();
  gInventory1.Visible = true;
}
//save

function btnCancelSave_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
gSaveGame.Visible = false;
}

int find_save_slot(String name)
{
  bool slots[] = new bool[999];
  int i = 0;
  while (i < lstSaveGamesList.ItemCount)
  {
    if (lstSaveGamesList.Items[i] == name)
    {
      // found existing save with matching name
      return lstSaveGamesList.SaveGameSlots[i];
    }
    // remember which slots are already taken
    slots[lstSaveGamesList.SaveGameSlots[i]] = true;
    i++;
  }
 
  // Find first free save slot, starting with slot 1
  i = 1;
  while (i < 999)
  {
    if (!slots[i])
      return i;
    i++;
  }
  // no free slots found
  return -1;
}
 
function btnSaveGame_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  int gameSlotToSaveInto = find_save_slot(txtNewSaveName.Text);
  if (gameSlotToSaveInto < 0)
  {
   Display("No more free save slots!");
   return;
  }
  SaveGameSlot(gameSlotToSaveInto, txtNewSaveName.Text);
  //gSaveGame.Visible = false;

Thanks for all advice!

The very first step is to make sure that the function is actually called. Just add

Code: ags

  Display("save button clicked");

as the first line to that function.

When you say "the save button does this", do you mean you did enter  btnSaveGame_OnClick  into the button's on click event? Or did you just copy that function (which will have no effect)?

Guy, I actually managed to figure it out.

Wait, I didn't, but I have found this old module:

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=38928.msg512373#msg512373

And copypasted it into my game... and now it works

Thanks
