Touch Saves

[Swordslinger]

So yes i'm working on a little game maker project with I Wanna Be The Engine Yutuu Edition, and I want to make Touch Saves, where as a touch save like in Break Through the 7 Trials, if you come in contact with the save, it saves the game instead of shooting it. How exactly do you do this?

Try to use your brain, its not that hard.

Change bulletCollision event to playerCollision event is simplest way to get Touch Save effect, I'm sure there are other ways but if you want the exact way done in 7 Trails just decompile it.

I would recommend using touch saves which you press S when over to save instead since standard touch saves are just annoying for the player a times.

I wrote this up for hiddow before so I have it on hand.
Put this code in an end step event

(click to show/hide)

if place_meeting(x,y,player){
if keyboard_check_pressed(ord("S")){
if (saveTimer < 0 && instance_exists(player) == true) {
    saveTimer = 30;
    image_index = 1;
    image_speed = 0.017;
    saveGame(0);
}}}

this also fixes saving in the ground on smaller blocks.

Here's a simple little script which save the game, when the player is touches the object.

Create event of save spot
//variable setup
touch = false;

in step event of the save spot
//check for player collision
if (place_meeting(x, y, oPlayer))
{
    //Check touch variable, so it wont run the code again, until you stop touching it
    if (touch == false)
    {
        touch = true;

        //save the game     
        game_save("Filename.extension");
    }
}
//When not touching
else
{
    //Reset touch variable
    touch = false;
}
