Delete save file from in game

[ChimkinTheGamer 3]

I want to make an anti cheat thing in my game where if you are in game outside of your home without your dog you get a message and your save file is wiped. Anyone know if this is possible without scripting? If not I'll just set them at your home at lvl 1 with nothing. No money, no armor, no weapon.

I can be done by eventing using a script command.

But you have to delete all save files if you were to make sure to remove the one the player is using since you can save in multiple slots.

Untested, but this is the command I use in a script.

DataManager.delete_save_file(1) if DataManager.save_file_exists?

I wanted to avoid scripts, as I want to do most everything on my own.

Event command -> script

Put the line in and see?

I just tried it and it worked fine.

Just have to remember 

DataManager.delete_save_file(0) if DataManager.save_file_exists?

is for savefile01.

Will that recognize 0..15 (array?)

[Kayzee 4,032]

No, you will have to set up a loop for that like this:

if DataManager.save_file_exists?
  (0..15).each do |i|
    DataManager.delete_save_file(i)
  end
end

(also 0..15 is a Range not an Array, but close enough)
