Hi all!!!
I wouldlike to ask you one question:
When I compile script which should open a file(or create this file) and write a string I see that nothing happens mad.
Code:
var filehandle;
filehandle = file_open_write("test.txt");
file_str_write(filehandle,"a,Test");
file_close (filehandle);

Or I don't understand correct the meaning of this programm?
I hope you will answer me soon!!!
And one another question: don't someone gave a good highscore script?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English...
P.P.S. I use trial version of 7.82 and 7.80.1

are you using windows vista or 7 and is your project currently located on c:\program files\... ?
then vista probably denies access to that folder, and 3dgs can not create the file. it might even crash when trying to do so in a published version.

From the Manual:
Quote:
A path can be given with the file name. Otherwise the file is opened in the work folder.


Try to create and save a file manually in your 3DGS work folder. If you can't, you don't have enough permission to use that folder. Otherwise i don't know...

I don't understand you... I try to create a file in folder with a script, and I can create a file manually in it... Maybe I should give a path in the script for file? Or reinstall this programm in c:\Program Files\... .Without (x86)???

no, it does not matter if the application is in program files with or without (x86). you can only save data in the "user" folder for the current user or onto other drives (not recommended), so when calling file_open_write you have to give a path to the user folder. you probably need a windows API function to get the path of the user folder, sorry but I can't help you with that.

when you give no path, it saves in the folder where the main script is that you've run.
on windows XP the program has access there, but on vista or 7 it doesn't if the script is somewhere on drive C:

not really, because your profiles are also saved on C wink

but not in the program folder wink

Your code looks fine, so it might be really because of missing permissions in Vista/Windows 7 (I still don't know how to turn this off, it even denies acces when I try to acess it as an administrator mad ). But the strange thing is: If your script is in C:\programm files (or program files(x86) or whatever), how have you been able to create your script there in the first place?
