Title: Player Start object is not working, need help. Again.
Post by: MatthewRPG on March 28, 2015, 09:57:30 AM

It appears as if every single time I  press 'R' in my fangame, I reset to where  the "playerStart" object is, no matter where I saved. (in the first room, at least.)

"playerStart"'s "Room Start" Code:

Code: [Select]

if(!instance_exists(player)){
  instance_create(x+17,y+23,player);
}
Which I did not change in the slightest. So I honestly have no idea what's going on.

That's the same code that I have for my playerStart object, it sounds like the problem is that the room keeps restarting instead of just the game. Look in the world's Press R event and tell me what is in there.

if(room != rInit && room != rMatthewRPG && room != rTitle){
  sound_stop_all();
  loadGame();
} "rMatthewRPG" is the intro screen, by the by.
Oh, and I'm using Minwa engine, in case you were wondering.

What's in your loadGame script?

What's in your loadGame script?

Code: [Select]

var f;

if !instance_exists(player){
  instance_create(0,0,player);
}

f = file_bin_open("temp",1);
file_bin_write_byte(f,global.savenum);
file_bin_close(f);
saveExe();
tempExe();

And in your tempExe script?

And in your tempExe script?

Code: [Select]

var f;
f = file_bin_open("temp",0);
global.savenum = file_bin_read_byte(f);
file_bin_close(f);
saveExe(); (Sorry for the late response, internet kinda died.)

Okay. For whatever reason, the Player object was not persistent. The problem is now resolved. Sorry for wasting your time.  :FailFish:
