Cannot get the File Object to work
« on: March 05, 2010, 02:00:49 PM »
I'm having some difficulties with this.

Code: [Select]
var proFile = new File("\saves\profiles.txt");
proFile.OpenAsText(1)
Whether "saves\profiles.txt" exists or not, the OpenAsText(1) returns false.

Hope someone can help me.

Maybe it's just a typo in your post but did you remove the backslash at the beginning when you call the file?

Yes, matthieuj has a good point. You're accessing a directory called "saves" in the root directory of current disk. That's proably not what you want. Use the Game.SaveDirectory property instead.

Okay, it was the thing with the "\saves\profiles.txt".

What got me was that Game.FileExists("\saves\profiles.txt") returned true. But it seems, that Game.FileExists will pretty much always return true  :o
