Cant get playmaker auto load to work at all

Post by Mulbin »

I've set up a simple auto save / load using the playmaker actions "ES3 Auto Save Save" and "ES3 Auto Save Load" triggered by simple keystrokes to text.

In the auto save menu I've set the position and rotation of the player object as well as a few other references.

At runtime, when I trigger "ES3 Auto Save Save" it creates a save file in the folder called SaveFile.es3.tmp
But when I trigger "ES3 Auto Save Load"....absolutely nothing happens. It doesn't move the game objects to the positions at the time of saving.

Any ideas what I'm missing here?

After further testing I think this is because of the .tmp added to the end of the filename... anyone know why its adding this? I'f I alter the file name I can load.

Hi there,

If the file has the extension tmp it means that an error occurred and an error will be logged to console. Please could you check PlayMaker's console for error messages.

All the best,
Joel

Just came back to say I've found it, as you say it was an error stalling it at that point. Sorted now!
