Buuuuut, it doesn't work for me, so I guess I'm doing something wrong.

basically I want to check (using the conditional branch) if a save file exists.

 I tried using  File.exists("Save01.rvdata2") in the Script box (inside the conditional) but the program says "Undefined is not a function" (I tried as well File.exists?("Save01.rvdata2") but it says "Unexpected end of input").

Also I tried DataManager.save_file_exists? and same problem (Unexpected end of input), so I removed the "?" and no error message but it doesn´t detect the save file.

My save files are inside the save folder.

Any ideas?
