    verb/Write_Scroll()
      set src in usr
      var/type=input("What would you like to write in the scroll?") as message
      usr.msg=(type)
      usr << output("[usr.msg]", "scrollwindow.output")



Problem Description:

The code works pretty good, and also whatever I write, shows in the window when I open it, but the problem is, when I close the game and re-open it, I have to write again, mean it doesn't saves. How can I make a saving script to save it? I tried making it but it doesn't work. Can someone tell me how to make a saving script to save this output of skin?

Thanks.

1. Does your game have some kind of saving system? If not, make one.
2. I would just use a variable that gets modified to whatever the person input()s.

I'm using deadron's character handling.

You would want to catch each line of text, and then save this on the player.

When the player reconnects, loop though and add each output.

I personally wouldn't cache more than 50 outputs though...

mob/proc/addoutput(t)
 var/limit = 50
 for(var/x = limit, x<=1,x--)
  cachetext[x-1]=cachetext[x]
 cachetext[limit] = t


50 would be the most recent. Change Limit for # of messages. t would be the new text.
