Problem when loading (stat.SAV)

---

with Error E1516 on the error title menu, this happens when I call a function that does a simple function no loading or taking out anything of any kind. Thanks

Could you post that function please?

It´s simple. You saved your game, worked on level, coder or somewhat and tried to load the saved game.

Xpresso

Problem with your theory, my game doesn't work with saved games in any form whatsoever, here is the code, I don't see the problem though, I mean I have no idea what is going on, it should work (in theory)
Code:

---

 
function pull_pillar
{
	var fire_counter = 0;
	msg_show("Hold down the fire button for a second", 3);
	wait(2);
	while (mouse_left == on && fire_counter < 70)
	{
		fire_counter += 1;
		wait(1);
	}
	return(fire_counter);
}
function pillar_event
{
   ...
   holddown_button = pull_pillar(); 
   ...
}

---

Could you please also post your main function?
Wanna see whats going on there.

Ah and by the way:
Please either choose "Starting with GameStudio" OR "Scripting" for posting the problems you encounter.
But not in both, this just get messed up for all.
For you, caus you have to always say most of the things twice.
And for those who read both "Starting.." and "Scripting", like me.

If I stop pulling pull_pillar it stops so this is the problem, I have a lot of code so what do you want me to give you? My main startup code I guess I can give you, and sorry I won't post in both anymore.
Code:

---

 function main1()
{
// set some common flags and variables
//	warn_level = 2;	// announce bad texture sizes and bad wdl code
	tex_share = on;	// map entities share their textures

// center the splash screen for non-640x480 resolutions, and display it
	splashscreen.pos_x = (screen_size.x - bmap_width(splashmap))/2;
	splashscreen.pos_y = (screen_size.y - bmap_height(splashmap))/2;
	splashscreen.visible = on;
// wait 3 frames (for triple buffering) until it is flipped to the foreground
	wait(1);

// now load the level
	level_load(level_str);
// freeze the game
	freeze_mode = 1;

// wait the required second, then switch the splashscreen off.
	sleep(1);
  	splashscreen.visible = off;
	bmap_purge(splashmap);	// remove splashscreen from video memory

// load some global variables, like sound volume
	load_status();

// display the initial message
	msg_show(mission_str,10);

// initialize lens flares when edition supports flares
ifdef CAPS_FLARE;
	lensflare_start();
endif;

// use the new 3rd person camera
	move_view_cap = 1;

// un-freeze the game
	freeze_mode = 0;

//	client_move();	// for a possible multiplayer game
// call further functions here...

random_tunes()

this is part of the startup don't critize the mess its mostly origional default code and I'm still new at this, I gave this because it does load things, another is when I load a pre-game level to do stuff before it enters the game, a little modified but most is dirrectly from AUM
Code:

most of the defined stuff for variables I left out but I did put in the level's definitions just in case, if you want more just ask, I don't think I have any more loading stuff in this if you can't find anything I'll look again.

Are you using the templates?
And why do you use two main functions?
One standart one and one written by yourself and calling the first outta it?
So what you do is two level_loads after each other.
I dunno if this is needed, but you could put that all together in one main function, would clear that up a bit.


Sry I didn't want to insult you, caus your posting the same thread twice.
It was just friendly advice.

All I did was combine some functions and rearrange until everything worked the way I did before and when I was done I found that the error had disappeared. If it helps, here is my code, its long though.

Quite simply, yes
