Is there a "Save all atributes" function?

The title says it all. I'm going to have hundreds of atributes that need to be saved and loaded.
This is going to be hours/days of work just to add a saving function to my game.

Is there an action that can save the game in its current state? Saving all atributes with just one
command? That would be really helpful. Thank you.

    If you have that many attributes, you really need to wait for writeable tables. Without them, you'd be loading and saving each attribute with a behavior statement. It would be extremely tedious and I don't recommend it.

    Alright, thanks for your responses. I need to keep working on it so I guess I'll do it the long and hard way.

    Writeable tables are coming soon, don't waste time doing that. Work on something else.

    Any idea how soon "soon" is? Or are you hoping?

    Found the information. Should be released as part of the the next release.

    When is the next release? The thing is, this is not up to me, I have a client who wants this fully done in a month. I can't just tell him "you're gonna have to wait because I don't feel like working hard". Hopefully the update will come soon.

    While it is supposed to be "very soon" we don't really know the exact date. If you have to do it the long way to please a client, you may just have to do it that way this time and then you'll appreciate the effort next time when it's a breeze with writeable tables. Sorry, but I'm a teacher so I tend to tell people to do the long division and then use a calculator from then on. ;)
