Custom Variables
« on: July 20, 2020, 09:13:13 AM »
Do custom variables and their values get saved along with player progress?  I'm just wondering if it might be possible to make a big RPG with lots of states, inventory, etc.

RGP's are very possible. Use Game Variables to store the numbers through the entire game, and that way only you can manually change them.

Area variables reset to 0 after leaving the area.
Course variables reset after the course is complete.
Game variables only change via commands and aren't reset unless a command resets them.
