Hey,
Im using this saving mechansim, and it works just fine when saving the game, but fails when loading saved progess.
I get this error message:

savegame line 10: invalid expression at char 25, expacted OPERATOR, was: VAR [sgender_text]

This is the savegame.txt:

`*if save_flag = 1
  *set sname name
  *set sgender_text gender_text
  *set sgender gender
  *set soccupition_text occupition_text
  *goto endsaveloadgame

*if save_flag = 2
  *set name sname
  *set set gender_text sgender_text
  *set gender sgender
  *set occupition_text soccupition_text
  *goto endsaveloadgame

*label endsaveloadgame
*page_break

*if save_flag = 1
  *set save_flag 0
  PROGRESS SAVED
  *line_break
  Should you die during the next Chapter you will have the option of trying again
  from this exact point, or to replay the game from the very beginning.
  *line_break
  Please note that this option applies only to this session. After quitting the game,
  the next time you play will be from the very beginning.
  *if scene_number = 0
   *page_break
   *goto_scene startup
  *if scene_number = 1
   *page_break
   *goto_scene kneedeep

*if save_flag = 2
  *set save_flag 0
  GAME RESET - START OF CURRENT CHAPTER

  Are you ready to resume from the beginning of 
  *if scene_number = 0
    Chapter One?
  *if scene_number = 1
    Chapter Two?
  *if scene_number = 3

and this is the relevant startup.txt section:

*create Name ""

It looks like a typo on your behalf.

With

*set set gender_text sgender_text

You’re setting a variable called “set” to the value of gender_text sgender_text which I’m guessing you don’t actually mean to do?

Oh silly me
I thought you told me to do it “set set”
thanks
