Text Lists:HOW TO USE!?

Help Requests
1

I am working on a level editor, and I think that I could update every block’s ID, X, Y, and Rotation (R). Here is my possible example:

ID-X-Y-R
1-3-3-90
12-70-33-0
ect.

So I need to save all that, turn it into a strip of numbers, and save it on a list. Then, let the user copy the list of numbers and paste it into a box to load the level. This is so other people can play the level without the issues of cloud and empty bank accounts.
CodeAppalca game me the link to a level builder but the only issue is that you can’t share the level after you are finished with it. I know that lists will help me… but I don’t know how to use it.

They can get complicated, lol. I think the system can be simplified more though, and easier. I will see if I can make a system, but I am pretty busy.

Any preferences on what you would like? Like do you want it with [Type][“X”][“Y”]? Because, I can make it. Even though It can be simplified a lot more.

All I need is for it to save a blocks postiton when I place it, I need it to save the block, x and y, and rotation. Then I need it to let the player copy and paste it to reload the level and share with others. Thank You.

@Truce2017 Ok, I have a basic system! Currently it takes the spawner, and 2 objects for each block. Do you have free edition? Because I can try to take away half the blocks, no problem at all.

What seems to be the problem? (This probably is not the best topic, though)

No problem! I will probably make a better example as well, at some point anyways.

Is there anything that lets other people load the level? I can’t find anything that lets others use the level you created.

If not, It’s fine! I can figure something out!

So, I mean. I made a level loader with the cloud behavior. The only other way is if the player could paste in data to make a level loader.

The cloud behavior can only be used with indie though, sadly.

Okay… I will figure this out. Whats the use of a level maker if no one can use it? I will use the example you spent time on, and try to build on to it. Thanks for the help!

Sharing the level is just something you’d have to code. If it’s via just text so you send someone a long paste, that’s really easy to do. If it’s via cloud, then that’s something I’d recommend you figure out yourself (mostly, asking for help is fine), as it’s the type of thing you’ll want to have a good understanding of
