I want to create a txt log that writes a value from a specific variable to the last line, as the time when i press the key F1 on keyboard.

Any Ideas?

You can use Lua's IO library to do this. Some links to the info regarding it:

You'd want to use io.open with a write and append flag if you wish to add to the existing file and such.

Example:

Code:
-- To save / write
local f = assert(io.open("myvaluesave.txt", "w"))
f:write(your_firstVariable, "\n")
f:write(your_secondVariable, "\n")
f:write(your_thirdVariable, "\n")

--- and so on for all variables you wish
f:close()

-- To open / read
local f = assert(io.open("myvaluesave.txt", "r"))
your_firstVariable = f:read("*line")
your_secondVariable = f:read("*line")
your_thirdVariable = f:read("*line")

--- and so on for all or specific values
f:close()


The best way would be to put the variables inside a table and then use table serialize.
