So, I tried creating a "multiplayer"... thing (with some tips from there: https://www.ambiera.com/forum.ph...). And so, I need to make a few variables in one file. The thing is that I know how to write multiple of variables in one file (like ccbWriteFileContent(file, var1 + " " + var2 +...) or kinda like that), but how do I make it read this file as a multiple variables? Is there a way to do this?

I answered this already here:

https://www.ambiera.com/forum.ph...

But I will write an example for your specific question.

Assume I have a txt file named data.txt with this content:

ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("A", "Apple");
ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("B", "Banana");
ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("C", "Cherry");

Then I would write a function like this one below:


function assignVarsFromTxt(src) {

    var content = ccbReadFileContent(src);

    var lineArray = content.split("\n");

    var arrayLength = lineArray.length;

    for (var i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++) {

        function myInstructions() {
            
            var F = new Function (lineArray[i])

            return(F());
        }
        
        lineArray.forEach(myInstructions);
    }
}

You would then invoke the function in a Before first drawing do something > Execute Java Script behavior and action like so:


assignVarsFromTxt("data.txt");

This is just how I would do it. Others may have a better way. If you have any questions about the code, I will answer them. Hope this helped.

I made script that saves and loads variables for game saveing.

Just take a look into script and you see how i made it.

Noticed some issues with my code. Here's the corrected version of the function:


function assignVarsFromTxt(src) {

    var content = ccbReadFileContent(src);

    var lineArray = content.split("\n");

    for (var i = 0; i < lineArray.length; i++) {

        function myInstructions() {

            var F = new Function (lineArray[i])

            return(F());
        }

        myInstructions();
    }
}

Thanks guys! Also, sorry for a bit late answer. If I won't be able to do a multiplayer (due to my -5 IQ, lol), I still can use this in order to create a save system (like sven just shown) or something.

better use JSON

create an object with properties for all player positions
and their inventory

then convert this object to a JSON text

write json text to file

then all read that file and

read that json text into gameobject
and update all positions except your own.
