Right, have I got a treat for you... I was messing around with some game creation tools and thought of how cool it would be if people could make Modable games. Well here is a real simple way for you to do it. If you know gml and how to use scripts, it will do what ever you want. I have a few simple scripts already and they work good. Basicly, it loads a text file, reads it from top to finish, and converts any compatable scripts to actions. For example:

;Create the title image(AddImage(ImageFilename,x,y,Transparent,BaseColor,Angle))
AddImage("Data\Images\Menu\Title.png",0,0,0,c_white,0)
;Add 3 menu buttons. AddButton(Text,x,y,Action(String) -1 if none,HoverSound -1 if none,ClickSound -1 if none)
AddButton("New Game",32,330,"Exec('Data\level1.cgf')",-1,-1)
AddButton("Load Game",32,360,-1,-1,-1)
AddButton("Game Options",32,390,-1,-1,-1)
AddButton("Quit Game",32,420,"EndGame(1,'Are you sure you wish to leave?')",-1,-1)

That creates a simple main menu. As long as the command exists as a script in your exe, it will execute that command. Awesome right?

I havnt done much commenting but if you know your way around gml, you will be sweet.

I look forward to your comments and I would like to see what you come up with.

Please dont ignore this... I put alot of work into it.

Oh and if you get any errors, just disable error messages in the Global Game Options.

No one thinks this is cool? I thought it was great. People can now make a fully mod-able game with this. Like the Cube 2 Engine. Could also be used to make a level editor with save/load in this style.

If its any consolation, I just found it and think that it is brilliant! I'm actually looking at using a very similar function as a form of in-game debugger. In case I need to change a variable on the fly. Very cool indeed.

Looks good. I see you use PHP's syntax for comments.

[HelpMyFellowPeople]

Did I? lol. I think anything will work for comments. Just as long as it doesnt start with a script name.
