I'm trying to load variables from one object in a room to another object in another room. Any ideas?

Well you can make the object persistent so it will be on the other room with the same variables

[Gug1st]

The problem is that the first object isn't meant to be on the next room.

Example: I click on a button to change a sprite in the next room, but it doesn't change it. This is somewhat my problem

Oh, then use Global Variables, example:

global.sprite=spr_this;

Still, there's a problem. I first used a script to define a global variable.

This is what I got:

globalvar char;

Then I set the button to:

char = 14;

In the object I want after for the next room, I still dunno how to do with global variables. Just seems too weird :S

I think "globalvar" makes the variable temporary for that room only i think, use global.char = 14;

I tried defining the global.char, but when I try adding it on the object, it still says that it's not defined

Define it in the Create Event.
Unlike globalvar or var, 'global.' can't be defined anywhere else.
Once you defined it there you can use it anywhere else.

Use a global variable.

global.anything = 1

[Debels]

Use a global variable.

global.anything = 1

Thats what we said.........

Actually, global variables can be defined anywhere (except maybe not in scripts... not sure) as long as they are defined before being used. It's best to just define them in the create event though, since it's more organized.

Nope, it doesn't. It just means you don't have to write 'global.' everytime you are in your code.

Oh, Thanks for removing that doubt of my head

Maybe the variable gets destroyed when the object itself gets destroyed.

Try creating a sprite-less object, set the global variable, and then making it persistent.

Global variables do not belong to any particular instance and will not go away until the game ends. They can be declared anywhere, at any time. As with any variable, you will only get an error if you try using it for functions or calculations before it has been set to a value.

Show us the code/object information, please.
