Hey everyone,
I was wondering what should be put in an if statement to tell if a savegame exists or not.
Thanks for any help

You need to use the "file_exists" command and just...
if file_exists("gamesave.sav") do something...
CanŽt remember what the actual GM save file is called right now, but just play a game and press f5, then look in the directory of the game gm81/gmk and youŽll find it!
if file_exists("gamesave.sav") do something...

The name has to be in quotes... either "name.sav" or 'name.sav' will, do, and as I said, just save a game and open your game folder to see exactly what the file that was saved is called!
