[Solved] How to call var in script instead of number

[Bishiba]

Hello!

I would like to call a variable(68) instead of the 1 in the following script.

DataManager.saveGame(1)

So far I've tried:
DataManager.saveGame(var = 68)
DataManager.saveGame(68)
DataManager.saveGame(var68)
DataManager.saveGame(var 68)
DataManager.saveGame(var = 68)
DataManager.saveGame(id68)
DataManager.saveGame(id 68)
DataManager.saveGame(id = 68) //This one seems to save in slot 68... -.-'
DataManager.saveGame(varid = 68) //This one seems to save in slot 68... -.-'


How would I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Solve:

DataManager.saveGame($gameVariables.value(68))

Well since @Bishiba has not yet replied again I will elaborate on what @Bishiba found to be a solution...

Also I should note when saving the game it is best practice to call "$gameSystem.onBeforeSave();" before actually saving.
See below for more explanation.

Control Variables

var varId = 68; var value = 5;
// This sets the value of variable #68 to 5
$gameVariables.setValue(varId, value);
// This returns  the value of variable #68
$gameVariables.value(varId);

Saving the game

// This is used to do the following:
//                                  Increase the save count (how many times saved)
//                                  Save the Version ID
//                                  Save Graphics.frameCount
//                                  Save current BGM & BGS
$gameSystem.onBeforeSave();

// Save the game
DataManager.saveGame($gameVariables.value(varId));

// Return the the map scene
SceneManager.goto(Scene_Map);

Extra Information:

Spoiler: Control Switches

Control Switches

var varId = 68; var enabled = true;
// This sets the value of switch #68 to true
$gameSwitches.setValue(varId, enabled);
// This returns the value of switch #68
$gameSwitches.value(varId);

Really elaborate, very good for anyone else browsing it :)
