I've been setting up a save file system, when using normal ES3.Save/Load I used ES3Settings.defaultSettings.path to set a path to a SaveFile and it is persistent between scenes. However when I use ES3AutoSaveMgr.Current.settings.path to set a path to a save file, it seems to only change the current autosave manager on that particular scene.

Is it possible to change the default path at runtime via code to a particular savefile for all AutoSaveManagers? Otherwise the only way I can think to do this is to make a separate script that runs on Awake() to set the filepath to a particular savefolder, and then have AutoSave instantiate on Start() rather than Awake()?

I am not aware of whether AutoSaveManager can be made persistent across scenes or if each one on each scene must be separate.

Hi there,

An Auto Save manager is specific to a scene, so you would need to change the path on Awake() in each scene you enter containing an Auto Save Manager.

Thx for the answer !The "awake" usage it's not in the "easy guide"...
So... Default path, in the settings tab, what is it for ?
When i modify the name and/or the path, nothing change : datas are always saved in the "SaveFile.es3". (Location: File, Directory : data path)
No way to save new datas from another scene ?? (For exemple : there's no enemies list in the start menu )
Thanks a lot by advance.

Hi there,

The Settings panel is for if you're using code. Auto Save has its own settings in the Auto Save window.

All the best,
