Ok, lets say there is a little noob named Bob who joins the server and gets ten gold, Bob now leaves the server and comes back, now the server needs to execute the file holder everyone's vars or Bob will have no gold and he will say "What?!?! what is my gold?". The End.

This is just a little sample using file objects. The save variables and the load variables inside of the save function and load function must be in the same order (when using this simple method). Notice how we use the packaged functions to save and load clients.

function saveClient(%this)
{
   %f = new fileObject();
   %f.openForWrite("filepath"@%this.bl_id@".txt");

   %f.writeLine(%this.gold);//1
   %f.writeLine(%this.level);//2


   %f.close();
   %f.delete();
}

function loadClient(%this)
{
   %f = new fileObject();
   %f.openForRead("filepath"@%this.bl_id@".txt");

   %this.gold = %f.readLine();//1
   %this.level = %f.readLine();//2

   %f.close();
   %f.delete();
}

//start of the it needs to be in a package package
function gameConnection::autoAdminCheck(%this)
{
   parent::autoAdminCheck(%this);

   //when someone joins, let's load them up!
   loadClient(%this);
}

function gameConnection::onClientLeaveGame(%this)
{
   //when someone leaves, let's save them before we call the parent!
   saveClient(%this);

   parent::gameConnection::onClientLeaveGame(%this);
}
//end of the needs to be in a package package

I know nothing about file objects so what does this do exactly?

LOOK at it. If that's not enough, copy and paste it somewhere and experiment with it lol.

Tested(and I fixed the parent). Effect: nothing.
