Did that, but now the GlobalVar file isn't being created when it should be, and Global Variables aren't read from the file either ... Loading a save resets the variables to whatever they were on the save file.

module GlobalVar
  @@global_variable_data = nil
 
  def self.save
    @@global_variable_data = $game_variables.global_variables
    file = File.open('GlobalVar.rxdata', 'wb')
    Marshal.dump(@@global_variable_data, file)
    file.close
  end
 
  def self.load
    return @@global_variable_data unless @@global_variable_data.nil?
   
    file = File.open('GlobalVar.rxdata', 'rb')
    @@global_variable_data = Marshal.load(file)
    file.close
    @@global_variable_data
  end
 
  def self.exist?
    File.exist?('GlobalVar.rxdata')
  end
 
end

No Error messages this time.

That's not the entirety of your script right? When I put them all together, it looked fine to me.

That's not the entirety of your script right? When I put them all together, it looked fine to me.

Here's the entire GlobalVar script:

RANGE_OF_VARS = 50..52

module GlobalVar
  @@global_variable_data = nil
  
  def self.save
    @@global_variable_data = $game_variables.global_variables
    file = File.open('GlobalVar.rxdata', 'wb')
    Marshal.dump(@@global_variable_data, file)
    file.close
  end
  
  def self.load
    return @@global_variable_data unless @@global_variable_data.nil?
    
    file = File.open('GlobalVar.rxdata', 'rb')
    @@global_variable_data = Marshal.load(file)
    file.close
    @@global_variable_data
  end
  
  def self.exist?
    File.exist?('GlobalVar.rxdata')
  end
  
end

#module Graphics
#  class << self
#    alias clear_gs_cache_on_update update
#    def update
#      GlobalVar.clear_cache
#      clear_gs_cache_on_update
#    end
#  end
#end


class Game_Variables
  
  alias get_variable []
  def [](id)
    if id.between?(RANGE_OF_VARS.first, RANGE_OF_VARS.last) && GlobalVar.exist?
      @data.slice!(RANGE_OF_VARS)
      @data.insert(RANGE_OF_VARS.first, *GlobalVar.load)
    end
    get_variable(id)
  end
  
  alias set_variable []=
  def []=(id, val)
    set_variable(id, val)
    if id.between?(RANGE_OF_VARS.first, RANGE_OF_VARS.last)
      GlobalVar.save
    end
  end

  def global_variables
    @data[RANGE_OF_VARS.last] ||= 0
    @data[RANGE_OF_VARS]
  end
end

Yeah, that's exactly what I have and it worked fine.

 

[Zwataketa]

Yeah, that's exactly what I have and it worked fine.

So, if you were to delete GlobalVar and then try to change one of the global variables afterward, it recreates the file as intended?

 

[KK20]

Yes

 

[Zwataketa]

WAIT I'm silly. The variable I was trying to change was out of the specified range, and I never updated the range. Doh.

Yeah, with that knowledge, it works now. Sorry for the confusion.

And now Yuka can be a reindeer in game without fiddling with the debug menu. Yay.
