Yah, does anybody use the 1000 global values object. I can't figure out why it won't transfer the values over different frames in MMF. It's named the same in both frames, in fact I tried Copying and Pasting it from one frame to the other - nope, I also tried going in to the frame without it and selecting the object from the frame with it and putting it in to the new frame - nope, I even tried duplicating the object in the one frame and cutting and pasting that in to the new frame - STILL NO.
Any ideas? I'm stuck.

If you need more than 24 Global vals in MMF then maybe you should find another way around!

Yes, I use INIs now, but I started this engine quite a while back before I started using INIs and I'd like some help to fix my current situation without changing ALL those values o_O.

1000 GV object is very buggy, or so i've heard. you're better off using INIs.

stange that everybody is telling that the 1000 global value object is buggy.
not knowing how to handle it doesnīt mean that it is buggy .also hearing from somebody else that it is buggy also doesnīt mean that it is 
i am using it.and havenīt got any problems with it.works perfect.
ryguyx: are you sure that you have coded the events in the right way?
maybe there is nothing to carry to the next frame ...
use a counter to test if there is a value set in the 1000 global value object.
or upload your example somewhere to have a look at.
other thought: which version of mmf do you use? mine is mmf 1.5 build 116

make an active ocject a global object and put it in every level. then use the alterable values of the object as your global values. that should work perfectly and gives you 26 extra values.

Yes I'm using it correctly - I allready tried and it is setting the global values perfectly in the first frame, but when I do the exact same test in the next frame, all the values appear as 0.
It looks like I'm just gonna have to code the friggin' INI file.

really strange this. should be asked in the clickteam forum, reported as a bug ...
in my opinion using inis is the worst way to store datas.not only that the user can modify it very easy, it also needs to be written at the end of a frame and reread for next frame...
there are several other ways.arrays (several versions around), datastore object, magic deque i think is also for storing datas...

somebody make a working global value extension that has a datastore sytem like an ini file - that would be a good extension!

Or Associative Array Object. That can read INI files, and write them I think.
Basically, you have an array that can have text names instead of numbers to refer to each line (like 'items' in INI files), and one key (item) can hold both a string and a value.
I can tell you about it on MSN some time if you want.
191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7
