15 Dec 2014, 16:01Hello! I have recently started making my first big text adventure, and I have a few things that i would like to know before I continue. If any one could answer any of these I would be most grateful.
1. Do I have to activate somthing for the player to be able to save?
2. If a player saves and then quits the game, will they be able to reload the save? Or is it only saved while their online?
3. What is the command for reloading a saved game?
That's it! Im sorry if these are stupid questions, im just trying to make sure I dont make any massive mistakes. Thank you in advance.

2. Yes, they can reload from the save point, so long as they're signed in to the site. So, you can play the game for a while, then save it, and come back to it days later and reload from the save point by choosing 'Restore' when they load the game up.
3. Online, when you click on the game you were previously playing, you will get two options: "Restore" and "Restart". If they've downloaded the game, a save dialogue box will be activated on 'save' and the player will be asked where on their computer they wish to save the file.
