Fixed my Array Order Load bug!


I realise that if I change the order of the entries in the Building array (as they appear in the Build Menu) it breaks the Save Loading of the buildings.

This is because my Load code "Re-builds" the building as if the player made it, so when the game Saves it stores the place you'd be in the building array then the Load uses that to get the correct data, so if I rearrange between a save and a load it wont find the correct building.

SO! I'm now storing the building type (name) and feeding that into a ds_map to return a value, that value is a Macro e.g "FURNACE" = 3; which I use when populating the building array. Now instead of rearranging the array manually I just change the Macro number for the relevant value and that does it automatically!

Didn't work the first time though...forgot something XD

Adding a key system for Gates and stuff (on top of the existing Button system which is now over-rided by keys) I can also have other conditions like a specific number of enemies need to be killed before they open.

Need to fix the collision detection.

I now have working Vertical Gates! Also reworked the build code so that the Wall parts are automatically built either side of the Gates, saves me having to work it out each time.
