Hi

I remember reading and writing browser storage when exporting to HTML5 was not possible in classic. I was hoping Studio going to bring this feature eventually, but then I stopped using AppGameKit for a couple years..
Now I decided to port one of my old classic projects to Studio and use the level editor this time and was wondering if it finally possible to read and write web storage somehow?

Read and write file functions in the project does not work in HTML5 and I did not find any HTML5 specific solution in the documentation.
So it is still not possible then to store data in the browser when exporting to HTML5?

Thanks.

the SharedVariable commands now support cookies, if that helps?
i haven't pushed the limits (beyond saving/loading/parsing strings) but they're functional. what were you looking to save/load?

Thanks, I didn't`t know about cookies, I`ll look in to that. Certainly better than nothing. Would be nice of AppGameKit could finally support some sort of storage or database solution on HTML5 though for reading, writing large amount of structured data.
I`m looking to save, load the game state, standard staff like current level, health, money, ammo, score, collected items, opened chests, doors..etc Not sure if cookies will do, but I shall try if there is no other option.

Both window.localStorage and window.sessionStorage have been available in the HTML API for a while now, sadly, I don't think these were ever implemented in AGK.
