making an action happen at the end

Is there a way to make it so a function runs when the project is stopped? Like if the window is closed?

can you explain what your needing to happen

I don't think so if the project is stopped then the code cant run

not without the use of a server

I am so confused but do you mean something like this?

Your blue text here

gameOver = false

init = function() // Initialize game state end

update = function() if gameOver then // Call a function that handles "stopping" behavior handleProjectStop() else // Game logic continues end end

draw = function() // Drawing logic end

handleProjectStop = function() // This function will be called when the 'gameOver' condition is met print("Project is logically stopped. Performing cleanup or final actions.") // Example: Save game state, display final score, etc. end

// Example of how to trigger gameOver // This could be based on player health, time limit, etc. // For demonstration, we'll just set it after a few seconds timer = 0 update = function() timer += 1 if timer > 300 and not gameOver then // After 5 seconds (300 frames at 60fps) gameOver = true end

if gameOver then handleProjectStop() else // Normal game updates end end

This text will appear in blue in the microStudio community tab.

gameOver = false

gameOver = false

update = function()
  if gameOver then
    // Call a function that handles "stopping" behavior
    handleProjectStop()
  else
    // Game logic continues

timer = 0

  timer += 1
  if timer > 300 and not gameOver then // After 5 seconds (300 frames at 60fps)
    gameOver = true
  end

  if gameOver then
    handleProjectStop()
  else
    // Normal game updates
  end
end

Okay, to clear up confusion I'm trying to make it so it saves variables when it stops.

ohhh like this?

// The variable we want to save
global.score = 0

// This function is called once when the project starts
init = function()
  print("Initializing...")
  // Load the saved data from the file
  loadData()

  // Example: Change the score to demonstrate saving
  score += 10
  print("Score is now: " + score)

  // Register a function to be called when the project is closed
  on_project_closing(saveData)
end

// Function to save the variable to a file
saveData = function()
  print("Saving data...")
  local data = object
  data.score = score
  // Use `fs.write` to save the variable as a JSON string
  fs.write( "save.json", JSON.stringify( data ) )
  print("Data saved.")
end

// Function to load the variable from a file
loadData = function()
  print("Loading data...")
  local data = null
  if fs.exists( "save.json" ) then
    // Use `fs.read` to read the file and `JSON.parse` to convert it back to an object
    data = JSON.parse( fs.read( "save.json" ) )
  end

  if data != null then
    score = data.score
    print("Data loaded. Previous score was: " + score)
  else
    print("No save file found. Starting with default score.")
  end
end

Wait how does on_project_close() work?
