GlobalValues XP

by Kyonides

Introduction

Once upon a weird time, there was a forumer that wanted to rewrite many saved games for no good reason.
What if there was a better solution?  
Yeah, like a Global Save File!

My scriptlet will handle almost everything on its own except for one single thing, namely the Game Over screen.
You got to make the script call by hand so to say.

The Script

Code:

# * GlobalValues XP * #
#  Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#  v0.3.0 - 2023-06-03

# This script creates a new Global Variable and stores values there for future
# use in all game sessions.

# It will update the battle result variables automatically if you are using
# a Battle System that is compatible enough with the Default BS.

# Stats like Wins, Escapes, Losses, Saves, and Loads are already
# updated by the script automatically!

# * Script Calls * #

# - Access Wins:
#  $global_data.wins
# - Access Escapes:
#  $global_data.escapes
# - Access Losses:
#  $global_data.losses
# - Access Total Saves:
#  $global_data.saves
# - Access Total Loads:
#  $global_data.loads
# - Access or Update Total Gameovers:
#  $global_data.gameovers
#  $global_data.gameover!
# - Access or Update the Switch:
#  $global_data.switch
#  $global_data.switch = true
#  $global_data.switch = false

# * Optional - No Need for You to use them! * #

# - Create or Load the new Global Variable
#  Global.load_file

# - Save Global Data at Any Moment
#  Global.save_file

module Global
  # PATH = "" means the Game's Root Directory (RD)
  # PATH = "Saves" means the Saves Directory at the RD
  PATH = ""
  FILENAME = "GlobalValues.rxdata"
  class Values
    def initialize
      @wins = 0

      Global.save_file

      @saves += 1

  end

  def load_file
    if File.exist?(filename)
      $global_data = load_data(filename)
    else
      $global_data = Global::Values.new
      save_file
    end
  end
  load_file
end
