Save the state of the game

How do I...?
1

Hello!

  1. Are there any ways to save the whole state of the game without using many storages for each variable or position?

  2. How can I use one event for a group of objects instead of this?

events

#1 has a lot of posts and would depend on what your game looks like. Most (if not all) involve putting all the information into an array and/or structure, convert to a json string and save it to storage. Then load the string, convert from JSON to a variable(s) and create or position the objects and their settings using for each object and/or for each child. This is simplistic but is the general concept. Search the forum.

#2 You can use the sticker behavior on _1 thru _4 and stick them to the other object. Once stuck, they would follow the object they’re stuck to.

or

put _1 thru _4 into a group, for this I used a group named “Group”

Set position of Group to  tomDialog1.PointX(Group.ObjectName()), tomDialog1.PointY(Group.ObjectName())

#1 - I meant something like one event to save everything in the game.
#2 - Thank u, works nice.

No, there’s no simple way unless you can create or find an extension. I wish it was easier.
