Whats a more simple way to saving vars then just saving them to the save proc

Read and Write .. I guess but personally I don't like using them.

so is better if i stay with adding to save proc and load proc

As far as I know, Read() and Write() are called any time you do an operation with a /savefile. You can save the mob and then in Write(), decide if there are certain variables you don't want to save (for example, you may not save the icon, overlay, and underlay variables as they contain icon data, which will massively bloat your savefiles).

Note that you don't need to bother with tmp variables, as they're not saved to begin with.

Simplest way:
proc/save(d) new /savefile ("saved object.obj") << d

Don't do it like that, though. You want the most efficient, safe way; not necessarily the cleanest or shortest.

I think save proc and load proc is simpler for me.
