hi every body
I have a very irritating problem with File.OpenAsText, I have written an "AfterLoad" event for my game in witch I have a piece of code like this:

Code: WME Script

1. on "AfterLoad"
2. {
3.         SomeWindow.ApplyEvent("Load");
4. }

and in 'SomeWindow.script' :

Code: WME Script

1. on "Load"
2. {
3.         var ToolStringFILE = new File(Game.SaveDirectory + "\GameDebugModeToolStrings.txt");
4.         if(ToolStringFILE.OpenAsText(1))
5.         {
6.                 // some code here, concerning reading from 'ToolStringFILE'
7.                 ToolStringFILE.Close();
8.         }
9.         else
10.         {
11.                 Game.LOG("can't open the file");
12.         }
13. }

The first time "AfterLoad" is run every thing work fine, but if I attempt to run the "AfterLoad" a second time, I always end up with "can't open the file" line in wme.log,
I don't know what stops the scripting from opening file.
any help would be much appreciated, please tell me if you need more information.

Hmm. Strange issue. Is the file exisits after reading from it?
Try to use something like this for first time:

Code: WME Script

1. on "Load"
2. {
3.         global ToolStringFILE;
4.         if (ToolStringFILE == null)
5.              ToolStringFILE = new File(Game.SaveDirectory + "\GameDebugModeToolStrings.txt");
6.  
7.         if(ToolStringFILE.OpenAsText(1))
8.         {
9.                 // some code here, concerning reading from 'ToolStringFILE'
10.                 ToolStringFILE.Close();
11.         }
12.         else
13.         {
14.                 Game.LOG("can't open the file");
15.         }
16. }

Also try to check attribute AccessMode before trying to open file. Maybe file already opened.

Not ear me this lines

i think that the problem is the "AfterLoad" event.

This event launch when the game start, how you launch the event for second time?? ...or when you launch the game for second time... 

i think that something like this is the problem..

sorry for my bad english

edit: bad response, this problem happen you when you load a save game, no?

Is the file guaranteed to exist? Perhaps try adding something like Game.LOG(Game.FileExists(Game.SaveDirectory + "\GameDebugModeToolStrings.txt"));

1. the file exist after the first time (though I didn't check it with script like what Mnemonic said, I checked the file directory).
2. I have created sort of a small tool for my game to jump through different situation in scene/puzzles, which is based on loading previously saved games. The first time     I use the tool to load a scene the tool reads the file just fine, but the second time it loads an old version of the file which has been used when creating that save.
3. I pretty much hope it's what 2.0 said, I mean could it be when ToolStringFILE.Close() is executed, the File handle is also destroyed?

btw thanks for the reply.

but the second time it loads an old version of the file which has been used when creating that save.

I don't think that's technically possible.

Keep in mind when loading a saved game you're also possibly loading old scripts (the ones that were running at the time you were saving the game). Could that be the problem?

yes that was it, thanks a lot Mnemonic.
