Is this something that can be done?
At the moment I have a loading script where it loads like this:
"GMech_Profile_Read_Real("level",global.level);
GMech_Profile_Read_Real("hp", global.hp);
GMech_Profile_Read_Real("maxhp", global.maxhp); ........"
and a saving script that does this:
"GMech_Profile_Write_Real("level",global.level);
GMech_Profile_Write_Real("hp", global.hp);
GMech_Profile_Write_Real("maxhp", global.maxhp);...."
When I have them loading and saving I also used in a step:
if(!GMech_Profile_Uploading())
{
instance_deactivate_all(true);
draw_text(x,y,"Saving..."); //or loading
}else
{
instance_deactivate_all(false);
}
When I call for a load the defaults kick in. My defaults are set in the log in screen, while the title screen has a new game and a continue button. I want the new game button to save all the defaults, and the continue button to load all the new data (after the player saves, exits, then comes back.)

The GMech_Profile_read functions return a value, so you need to set them like you set a variable:
variable1=GMech_Profile_Read_String("section","variable","DefaultValue")

Actually booleans ARE reals. True=1 and false=0. So you should be able to use the real functions with booleans.

Thanks! I figured out another one of my problems is that it slipped my mind that Real = numbers I had some booleans that I was trying to save as real >.< is there a way to save boolean's that does not involve converting them to strings? And will I need to convert them back to true/false somehow or will it do that automatically?
