Yeah I agree I think Im going to us a combination of both examples along with my own code. Im going to use inis for saving the information but I made a very heavily modified version of davids creation example.

What works? Typing the object name in an expression? Surely that cannot work, because it'd give a syntax error, thinking its two separate names!

nope it worked fine. But it may because i didn't tell it to create Left End I told it to create a string conversion of a global variable.

Here is how I worked it...

I had and object named Left End with the space. And I had a global variable named Current object. Current object was set to always equal the string of an object in a list box that had the names of all the Name variable in the family "blue"(so left end's name variable was Left End).

Then on a mouse click I told the system to create the global variable Current object (converting it to a string so it would read the value "Left End" and Create a string out of that) and it worked. But when I saved and it set the object name to LeftEnd and The Variable Name was still Left End and it would not work. I know its a very strange way to do it but it works for me.

ahhh ok...makes sense.

Edit*

But if I name the object with the space then call that object to be created by name with the space it works, and then i save and it makes the object without the space it dosent work anymore..(and I leave the event alone)

Im certain this is a bug so Im letting people know now that if you have an object with a space in the name. When you save it will be renamed with out the space. And i will post the bug to the tracker... Just letting people know....

That would be the best Christmas present EVER!!! You guys are Awesome...

what are all the controls for this... I have the arrow keys but anything else?

Still anytime I ask a question you always answer it... And quick too. I would have never have found that cap and I think that is exactly what I need. Just saying thanks thats all.

Deadeye all I have to say to you is you are quite possibly the greatest help ive ever had. thank you so much for all your help with this.

Well its more or less for our own use not for user created levels... our current project wont lend itself well to a create your own level style play... We also really want to do our best to stay away from the the grid style game...

I wanted to make a level builder for my current game...Ive had a few ideas but I cant seem to figure out a good way to do it...

I had an Idea using inis to save the positions/size of all the objects but Im having trouble getting them to save right but other than that I don't have any Idea on how I would do it...

NO WAY DUDE THAT;S LIKE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT WTFORK OMGio;ferijfesroj;eosrgjse!!!111!1
