Is there a save game function or such ?

I'm using the TGE 1.5.2 plus RTS kit ... and had a curious thought.

Is there a save game feature or such ? Just curious, as I realized I have yet to see any examples of this with TGE.

How about a PAUSE function ? to pause the game play.


Maybe I could at least keep track of the players progress through my campaign (story line) and return them to the last mission they started -- if nothing else.

You will need to create your own save functionality since you best know your data. While a huge dump of everything would be possible, it would dump a huge amount of information that will probably not be necessary for your game specifics data.

For pausing gameplay you'll need to write a function that toggles between being paused and unpaused and bind that to a key. To pause the action set $timeScale to 0, to resume set it to 1.
