[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] I don't have the SDK in front of me, and it's been months since I've worked with it (bad coder, bad!), but I recall there being a DispatchSave function the engine calls when it needs to save. If you can insert some sort of logic check in there to not save when a given flag is set, then you can at least avoid saving the information. It would still create a file probably, but when the user tries to load their file Half-Life will probably crash because there's no data, and the won't think of doing that again. :)
