Legacy GM saving multiple variables to disk?

[Uberpink]

google abit but something is confusing,, cant multiple variables be stored in ONE ini file?`

found out that the built in "save game" function returns errors especially between different versions of the game, so i want to store all global variables in one go, with their present values (and load them when i "load the game").... is it possible?

like this:

eksample, creating the file...

ini_open("variables.sav");
ini_write_real("Save1","somestuff",global.lives);
ini_close();

but is THIS possible?

ini_open("variables.sav");
ini_write_real("Save1","somestuff",global.lives);
ini_write_real("Save1","somestuff",global.pickups);
ini_write_real("Save1","somestuff",global.enemydrops);
ini_write_real("Save1","somestuff",global.spawnrate);
ini_write_real("Save1","somestuff",global.something);
ini_close();

its only variables i need to save, this savestuff is all new to me, or is this better by using a "ds_list"?

You need to store the variables in different sections and/or keys by varying the first or second parameters.

Did you even read the Manual entry on ini_write_real() with the diagram showing how an INI file is subdivided?

nope have never seen that page, looked at some almost similar page inside gamemakers help doc, but the one u posted was abit easier to understand with the better description pics
