I have a timer that is set in the intro script. Is there a way to "save" the timer information when the user saves so it can be loaded back when you restart your game?

If not, I have a workaround that I can do, but it isn't going to be as pretty as something like this would be.

Yes, as Chenzi says, you can use "read timer" to get the current state of your timers and store them in global variables.

The trick is to make sure you save them right before the user saves.

You could replace "Save" in the menu with a menu item that runs a script. The script could do the work of saving the timers, and then it could use the "save menu" command to display the screen to allow the player to save.

Then in your game's on-load script, you can re-start any timers that need restarting.

It still won't work quite right with timers that count down during menus, but it's not exploitable, either.
