Does an event can delete saved game files ? (VxAce)

[Artheoss 0]

Hello everybody, I just wonder if it is possible to delete all game files from an in-game event ?

 

I've searched a while on differents forums, but I wasn't able to find a solution.

 

I'm also using Yanfly Save Engine Script

Can you help me for this ?

 

Thanks.

DataManager.delete_save_file(0)

 

"0" can be anything
if I remember correctly you type "0..999" or "0...999" to basically set it to any possible save file

 

CAREFUL WITH THIS BLACK MAGIC NOW

this is the second most evil script call you can use

...which is exactly why its in my game

Oh... And, what is the first most evil script ? ^^

Removing the game save when you destroy the universe or decide to commit suicide

Thats how to get rid of it, but how can we bring it back afterward? Say that I wanted to have an NPC lead the main character on a chase after deleting their save file. How would one retrieve that file back?

I have to admit, that sounds like a dumb idea. Once the file is deleted then the player just needs to save the game again.

If you prevent this and the player dies then the player has to start over.

If you can find a way to prevent these instances then I would recommend using an autosave script and limit the save files in the game. So if you allowed only 25 saves, then the autosave would save at position 30. So the player would never see it. Apart from that what your asking to be able to do a copy function (for backup) or rename, then to copy or rename back. I do not believe rpg maker has access to the computer system that easily.

Yoshine, I tried the DataManager.delete_save_file(0...999) and DataManager.delete_save_file(0..999), but my save files were still there. What did i do wrong?
