GameMaker ini saving bool

[Sn3akyP1xel]

I have a bunch of true/false globals which i need to save/load. Will 'ini_write_real()' read my bools as 0s and 1s? I pondered for 1 second changing all my false/trues to 0/1s but can't be bothered
Can someone point me in the right direction, thanks in adv

Yes, it will. And that wouldn't matter to you if you don't compare Booleans to true and false like a noob.

One thing to add is that while it is indeed unnecessary to compare variables holding boolean values to boolean values, technically, it shouldn't make a difference as true/false are mapped to 1 and 0, respectively. They will save as 1/0 and be read back like that. They wouldn't even be recognized as being of the boolean data type unless you're using the bool function to convert them to that.

perfect. So no problem saving then, but would have to convert back to true/false at the loading stage

Nope. true and false are 100% equal to 1 and 0.
