Automatically saving a character's position

[tsuakai]

Attached is a file of what I have so far. (Junky I know.)

The way my battles are set up is that after the battle it goes back to the first frame of the level, everything inside the level resets. I.E coin placement, character placement. I've already got the whole how to save/load using buttons, but how would I automatically save a character's position?

Thanks in advance.

The .fla does not work for me, but I am guessing you have a random number generator for enterFrame, so if it is the number it automatically puts you in the battle?

If so, you could create variables for on(load). Your x position would be one, and so would your y... then you could say if the number is the one for battling, record this._x and _this.y,, and then they equal the position of your guy... sorry to explain roughly, but I can't see your .fla.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I guess my server was done, but when I clicked the link it came up with the download screen in Firefox for me so I'm not sure. I guess I'll have a try at what you said. Any other ideas would be much appreciated. =).

Could you repost it? I think it would help...

i added this to the first frame

if (hex){
_root.girl_mc._x = hex
_root.girl_mc._y = why
}
and this to the invisible fight trigger

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.girl_mc.hitTest (this)) {
_root.hex = _root.girl_mc._x
_root.why = _root.girl_mc._y
_root.gotoAndStop(16);
}
}

Actually the girl is from Seken Deitsu? For the Snes I believe. I'm just using random sprites till I get the specific code down, then I will use my own animations that I've got ready. In "battle" mode the girl with the white hair is Kula from KoF I believe. Thanks for the help, I'll try it when I get home.
