INI file problem

Hello. so i just wrote a big topic and then my internet died, so i have to rewrite this. if i have to little info just ask because im running low on sleep and trying to remember what i wrote. alright in my game you press the save button, and it saves certain global.variables to the INI.

Code: [Select]

ini_open("SaveGame.ini")
ini_write_real("In Game Variables", "0000000001",variable_global_get(global.hp))
ini_write_real("In Game Variables", "0000000002",variable_global_get(global.maxhp))
ini_write_real("In Game Variables", "0000000003",variable_global_get(global.rownum))
ini_close()
so it saves some variables into the INI. the big random numbers are for an early encrypting process im trying. whenever i open up the INI however, all the values = 0. i think its something with variable_global_get that im doing wrong.. anyone have suggestions?

Re: INI file problem

Why are you using variable_global_get() instead of just using the global variable?

Code: [Select]

ini_open("SaveGame.ini")
ini_write_real("In Game Variables", "0000000001",global.hp)
ini_write_real("In Game Variables", "0000000002",global.maxhp)
ini_write_real("In Game Variables", "0000000003",global.rownum)
ini_close()variable_global_get takes a string, not a constant anyway.

Code: [Select]

variable_global_get("hp") // instead of variable_global_get(global.hp)

Re: INI file problem

It works like that? By brother who used to use ini files in game maker said that it would set it to global.hp, but now that i think about it i think thats what happens if you use ini_write_string.. Well thanks! I knew there was something off, but i didnt know what it was.
