Hello,
I've developed a save system for my game. However it's not very good, I use one file to store all the character's names, another to store their level, another for HP etc... Isn't their a better way to save all this data without using so many files? I've tried to save all this data into a single array please see code snippet. It doesn't work. Does anyone know a way around the problem?

yup, you can't save typed arrays in dbp. The best way would probably be to write all the data to a file.

In the beginning, the universe was created...
This made alot of people very angry and it has been widely regarded as a bad idea...

You basically need to work out what order you are going to save everything in. Then just save it all to one file. Then when you need to load everything you know what order to load it in.

Something like


i won't see you in the pit
