    gamefile = love.filesystem.isDirectory ('CriminalData' )
    if gamefile then
        else love.filesystem.mkdir( 'CriminalData' )
    end
    
    tempsavedata = {
    roomnum = 1,
    lightnum = 1,
    tablenum = 1,
    monitornum = 1,
    casenum = 1,
    player = 1,
    money = 250
    }
    
    lastsave = 0
    savetimer = 0
    view = 1
    displaytitle = true
    
    if love.filesystem.isFile('save.txt') then
        loadSave()
    else
        initialsave()
        loadSave()

Can you post a full .love file?

See here if you don't know how: http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=451

Other than the fact that you save every frame(!) due to a bug in love.update*, it seems to load the money thing just fine. Can you be more specific about the problem you're having and how to reproduce it (basically what steps I need to take to see the problem in action)?

*This:

Code: Select all

    if savetimer > (lastsave + 60) then
        --do fuck all
    else
        save()
        lastsave = savetimer
    end

should be:

Code: Select all

    if savetimer > (lastsave + 60) then
        save()
        lastsave = savetimer
    end

thanks ill try it out wwhen i get back from school
if it dosent fix the problem ill see if i can explain how to reproduce the problem

[Vandie]

[Robin]

You mean you change tempsavedata? Because that is ignored if save.txt already exists.

[Vandie]

yes i do but on this updated version

[Robin]

You deleted the line

Code: Select all

savetimer = savetimer + dt

which means it never saves.

Your construction with SaveData/tempsavedata is really weird, but it should work fine otherwise.
