* During box art generation (the game is run for a single frame every time a level is selected), saved variables can both be read from and written to; take note of that if you have any scripts writing to them in the first frame. | * During box art generation (the game is run for a single frame every time a level is selected), saved variables can both be read from and written to; take note of that if you have any scripts writing to them in the first frame. | ||
* Saved variables will not save values such as <code>NaN</code>, <code>Infinity</code> and <code>-Infinity</code>, however, they will be stored until the game ends. | * Saved variables will not save values such as <code>NaN</code>, <code>Infinity</code> and <code>-Infinity</code>, however, they will be stored until the game ends. | ||
* Using a saved variable as a [[List]] will have the same functionality as when using a global variable. This means they will contrary to the expected behavior, not save the [[List]]'s values when losing, wining or leaving the game. | |||
* If there are not enough saved variables or they are cumbersome to use, it is possible to encode multiple values into one variable, such as with [https://play.fancade.com/60A0BAEF67EF6DD9 Float Encoder] by [[The Questers#sounak9434|Sounak9434]]. | * If there are not enough saved variables or they are cumbersome to use, it is possible to encode multiple values into one variable, such as with [https://play.fancade.com/60A0BAEF67EF6DD9 Float Encoder] by [[The Questers#sounak9434|Sounak9434]]. | ||
