Question

why is it printing the points instead of the beaten_levels variable?

extends Button
var save_path = "user://skibidi.save"
var points = 67
var current_level = 0
var beaten_levels = [false, false, false, false, false]
# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
	pass # Replace with function body.


# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(_delta: float) -> void:
	pass


func _on_pressed() -> void:
	$"../../../../HurtDeath".play()
	get_tree().change_scene_to_file("res://scenes/UI/Level Select.tscn")
	self.disabled = true


func _on_button_2_pressed() -> void:
	$"../../../../HurtDeath2".play()
	var file = FileAccess.open(save_path, FileAccess.WRITE)
	file.store_var(points)
	file.store_var(current_level)
	file.store_var(beaten_levels)
	file.close()
	var file2 = FileAccess.open(save_path, FileAccess.READ)
	current_level = file2.get_var()
	print(current_level)
	get_tree().change_scene_to_file("res://scenes/UI/Level Select.tscn")

I’ve just checked the doc real fast and from that, order is important. EDIT: It’s a FIFO (First In, First Out) The first “get” will return the first variable saved. [Previously wrong = FILO (First In, Last Out). The first “get” will give you the last entered var.]

That’s why.

And, since you don’t force your variables to a certain type, they are defined as Variant, thus any assignment will work without error.

I.E.:

var current_level := 0

or its variant

var current_level : int = 0

would give an error with your code above since you would be trying to get current_level (an int) a value of array.

EDIT: As this has been tagged as the Solution, I’ve edited the post to reflects the save. It’s FIFO, not LIFO.

wait, i ment current_level. Sorry
Yeah, it’s printing the points instead of the current level

Your variable name is of no consequence to GODOT. The function will return what has been saved.

As I said, it was a quick read. Instead of LIFO it might be FIFO (First In, First Out), so it would be “points” returned first, then “current_level” and finally “beaten_levels”.

file.store_var(current_level)
file.store_var(points)
file.store_var(beaten_levels)

it worked

Thank you for the support!

One more thing:

How come the points here now trying to equal the beaten levels? I changed it so it was beaten levels instead of current levels.

extends Control
var current_level = 1
var current = 0
var unfinished = 1
@export var world_1 = ["one", "too", "thriii", "for", "fyve"] 
var world_2 = ["Sigma", "too", "thriii", "for", "fyve"]
@export var world_2_links = ["res://scenes/levels/First Level.tscn", "res://scenes/levels/First Level.tscn", "res://scenes/levels/First Level.tscn", "res://scenes/levels/First Level.tscn", "res://scenes/levels/First Level.tscn"]
var save_path = "user://skibidi.save"
var save_path2 = "user://skibido.save"
var points = 0
var current_world = [0, 2, 3 , 1, "0h10"]
var current_world_link = [1, 1]# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
var land_list = [world_1, world_2]
var beaten_levels = [false, false, false, true, false] 
var levels_done = ["him", "she", "her", "new"]
@export var world_index = 1

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
	var file = FileAccess.open(save_path, FileAccess.READ)
	current_level = points
	points = file.get_var(points)
	$Label3.text = str(points)
	print(levels_done)
	file.close()
	$Label2.text = str(world_index)
