Save game order on another layout affecting saved objects?

Hi all!

I have been using Construct's built in save/load game feature, but am wondering if I am doing it incorrectly.

When the player presses escape, they are brought to the pause menu, which is on a different layout, where if they press save, the game should be saved. and if they press load the game should load. However I don't think either one is happening.

If I click on save in the pause menu, and then click on back in the pause menu, the layout I was on previously will not retain the objects or their status that were there when I pushed the save button. Nothing happens when I click load.

Is this because my save/load commands are in another layout? Do I need to have the save/load commands on the same layout for them to work properly?

Thanks!

Bump?

The standard load/save has its limitations as others will tell you, but it might be right for you.

Here's a proof of concept that could be incorporated into your game with some more fleshing out. It shows loading and saving from a separate layout. The actual loading/saving doesn't take place until back on the main layout. Run it with F4 so the main layout starts.

SPOT ON! THANK YOU!
