	Hmm, If you don't want people using the sprites, why don't you include a lower quality sprite in the engine instead, for its pretty likely people will use the sprites anyway Though it looks nice, gj Logged

Limey, you could say that about a bunch of projects/sprites. I'll leave them in and have people here use the honor system. If they happen to use the sprites then you can have their projects removed or the person banned. That's why we have those rules.

EDIT: For those who keep asking; the Taskbar Calculator can be downloaded here

Personal Text Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1229	this is great. I am definatly using it. in the actual game, how do you make it to go back to where you were when you saved it. like when you load it, it goes back to the saved place... if you have a real game with moving in it Logged

Create some new variables in the .mgb files (.ini) and have the engine load them, like

Code: [Select]

ini_write_string('Location', 'current', 'Clock Town');
Then when you restart you can have the engine read the variable

Code: [Select]

currentLocation = ini_read_string('Location', 'current', '');

switch (currentLocation)
{
 case 'Clock Town':
  room_goto(rmClockTown);
 break;
 ...
}

Hope you get the jist of that.

Next time, just post some code to help him instead of being mean and talking down to him. Not everyone is a GM master and we all start somewhere.

Just a suggestion, but you might want to read the GameMaker 6.1 Documentation section on GML and check out the .ini documentation thoroughly.

Look through the tutorial line-of-code by line-of-code and see if you can follow along, this way you know how it loads and saves variables.

You might want to add another ) or you'll get a coding error... lol.

Not everyone is a GM master and we all start somewhere. I wasn't planning to be mean or something its just that what he asked is realy easy and I'm not saying I'm a GM Master because I'm not. But if you make a difficult project like MMgb I think you should be atleast be able to know how to do that. There are harder things to code for MMgb. Logged
