Steps taken

[Ellie]

I am working on an autosave script for my game. I have it set up at the moment to save every time you take a step, but this is extremely laggy.

Instead, I want to make it save if $game_party.steps is divisible by 10 (so every 10 steps it saves).

Here's that part of the script:

  def initialize_autosave
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      if (@hp != actor.hp || 
        @hpm != actor.maxhp || @mp != actor.sp || @mpm != actor.maxsp ||
        [COLOR=Red]@steps != $game_party.steps.to_s[/COLOR])
        autosave
        @hp = actor.hp
        @hpm = actor.maxhp
        @mp = actor.sp
        @mpm = actor.maxsp
        [COLOR=Red]@steps = $game_party.steps.to_s[/COLOR]
      end
    end
  end

I wondered if anybody here could help me?

Try this.

  def initialize_autosave
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      if (@hp != actor.hp || 
        @hpm != actor.maxhp || @mp != actor.sp || @mpm != actor.maxsp ||
        [COLOR=Red]$game_party.steps % 10 == 0[/COLOR])
        autosave
        @hp = actor.hp
        @hpm = actor.maxhp
        @mp = actor.sp
        @mpm = actor.maxsp
      end
    end
  end

This should work better:

  def initialize_autosave
    return if $game_party.steps == @steps && $game_party.steps % 10 != 0
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      if (@hp != actor.hp || 
        @hpm != actor.maxhp || @mp != actor.sp || @mpm != actor.maxsp)
        autosave
        @hp = actor.hp
        @hpm = actor.maxhp
        @mp = actor.sp
        @mpm = actor.maxsp
        @steps = $game_party.steps
      end
    end
  end

Building on Slipknot's code...

  def initialize_autosave
    return if $game_party.steps == @steps || $game_party.steps % 10 != 0
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      if @stats[i] != [actor.hp, actor.maxhp, actor.sp, actor.maxsp]
        autosave
        @stats[i] = [actor.hp, actor.maxhp, actor.sp, actor.maxsp]
      end
    end
    @steps = $game_party.steps
  end

Since there can be more than one actor in the party you will have to store their stats in an array.
