  • Ok, so I am creating a random character creation sheet which looks at a global variable such as var_Name and sets ones of the variable text to the text file I have on the layout using this

    tokenat(var_Name,floor(random(tokencount(var_Name,";"))),";")[/code:3mwzwluu]

Now I have everything working so far but I need to find a way to save the randomly chosen information either locally or online or even both, so that I can allow the player to reload this data and be able to call it up & reference it in game, so my overall question, is there any way I can save a randomly chosen piece of text from a global variable into a savefile.

    Thanks! Those are some good resources, but I am still a bit lost on

    Say I.E I have a global variable var_Name = "John; Sally; Joe"

    Now say the text choose Sally randomly out of that, how would I save that specific information is what I need to know, I went threw most of that information you gave and I can't seem to figure that part out :#

  • When you select your random name "Sally", put it into some other variable, say PlayerName . Then write this variable to the Local Storage.

    When player starts a new game do this:
PlayerName=tokenat(var_Name,floor(random(tokencount(var_Name,";"))),";")  // select random name from the list
playerNameText Set Text to PlayerName  // update text on the layout
LocalStorage set "PlayerNameKey" to PlayerName  // save name to local storage

When player loads saved game:
retrieve "PlayerNameKey" from Local Storage into the variable PlayerName (see tutorials on how to do it properly)
playerNameText Set Text to PlayerName  // update text on the layout[/code:12syfi2x]
