* Save and load the players data only if they join the server.
* Display the players variable.

What do you mean by display?

Saving and loading could be done like this:
If the server is going to be running non-stop then you could get away with using a variable like:

--- Code: ---$Var[%client.bl_id]
--- End code ---
Note that this will be erased once the game is closed.
if not,
Then you could export the variables to a file corrosponding to the player's ID:
to save:

--- Code: ---function SaveVars(%client)
{
   export("$var*", "config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs");
}
--- End code ---
to load:

--- Code: ---function gameConnection::AutoAdminCheck(%client) //This is called once a client joins the server
{
   parent::AutoAdminCheck(%client);

   exec("config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs");
}
--- End code ---

EDIT: Fixed a silly mistake

Like in a bottom print.

Code in the CityRPG or even I believe Team Deathmatch(?)

Chrono:
I suggest not following Fluff's code. It wont work and that'll only save $var, and not $var[ID HERE]

If you were however, to use that method:

--- Code: ---function GameConnection::saveVars(%client)
{
export("$var" @ %client.bl_id @ "*", "config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs");
}

--- End code ---
to load:

--- Code: ---package autoLoad
{
function gameConnection::AutoAdminCheck(%client) //This is called once a client joins the server
{
if(isFile("config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs"))
exec("config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs");
else
%client.configureDefaultVars();
return Parent::AutoAdminCheck(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(autoLoad);
--- End code ---
and to remove data of a user who has left the server:

--- Code: ---package autoSave
{
function GameConnection::onClientLeaveGame(%client)
{
%client.saveVars();
deleteVariables("$var" @ %client.bl_id @ "*");
return Parent::onClientLeaveGame(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(autosave);
--- End code ---

Explanations for each function:
Saving:
Let's say the client's ID was 5344.
It would export anything as $var[5344,*], meaning, if you were to have something like $var[5344,faction] and $var[5344,points] it would save both to the file, instead of just one variable.
Auto load:
Package the autoadmin check function, which is called whenever any player joins.
If the player has a file, load it, otherwise, give him default values (you would have to make this function yourself as GameConnection::configureDefaultValues(%client) )
And then for the autoadmin system to work properly, return whatever the default function is supposed to.
Auto save:
Package the function for when clients leave the server.
Save the player's data using the previous function made, saveVars.
Delete the no longer needed variables.
Then continue the onLeave function.

Depends what you want to display.

So would this work?

--- Code: ---/=========================================================================
// 7. Auto Save And Load
//=========================================================================
//////////////////////
// 7.1 Auto Save /////
//////////////////////
package AutoSave
{
function GameConnection::onClientLeaveGame(%client) //This is called when a client leaves the server
{
%client.saveVars();
deleteVariables("$Gold" @ %client.bl_id @ "*");
deleteVariables("$MP" @ %client.bl_id @ "*");
deleteVariables("$Health" @ %client.bl_id @ "*");
deleteVariables("$Class" @ %client.bl_id @ "*");
return Parent::onClientLeaveGame(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(AutoSave);

//////////////////////
// 7.2 Auto Load /////
//////////////////////
package AutoLoad
{
function gameConnection::AutoAdminCheck(%client) //This is called once a client joins the server
{
if(isFile("config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs"))
exec("config/Vars/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs");
else
%client.configureMedievalRpgSaves();
return Parent::AutoAdminCheck(%client);
}
};
activatePackage(AutoLoad);

--- End code ---
And to save a var

--- Code: ---export("$VarName" @ %client.bl_id @ "*", "config/MedievalRpgSaves/" @ %client.bl_id @ ".cs");

--- End code ---

For example: how much gold the player has.
