Hi there,

Just to clarify, collections such as arrays and Lists are saved and loaded in the same way as any other data. See the Saving and Loading Collections section of the Getting Started guide.

All the best,

Greetings,

I would like to see an example of ES3 using scriptable objects. (And preferably a SO contained in a SO, like an item and container)

Hi there, and thanks for getting in contact.

ScriptableObjects are saved in the same way as any other data (see the Getting Started guide: https://docs.moodkie.com/easy-save-3/getting-started/).

Is there anything in particular you are struggling with, or which is not working for you?

All the best,
Joel

Thanks for the fast reply, in regards to that it's taking a lot of things that I have some experience with and putting them all in one basket. I mostly understand your random prefab demo. However I'm not sure how to gracefully put all the information from a SO object into a list also I'm not really familiar with the "var" declaration and it looks some sort of magic atm. Google results are giving me mixed results.
This line in particular (well 2 lines combined into 1)
var prefabInstance = Instantiate(prefabs[Random.Range(0, prefabs.Length)], Random.insideUnitSphere * 5, Random.rotation);
It seems var is doing a hell of a lot of stuff here, let's say I get it. But, I don't need to Instantiate my SOs, so would I just make something like a populate container function and hold it in a var and add it to the list? Something like
AddScriptableObjectToContainer(name,type,whateverA,whateverB,whateverC);
In this case my list won't be a game object or even a scriptable object though, so I'm not sure it would work.

Well, Hopefully I've properly demonstrated my confusion.
regards.

'var' is just a way of declaring a variable in C# without having to write the type at the beginning. For example, this:
Is a more readable and maintainable way of writing:
For more information see the C# documentation on 'Implicitly typed local variables', which explains the 'var' keyword:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotne ... -variables

so would I just make something like a populate container function and hold it in a var and add it to the list? Something like
AddScriptableObjectToContainer(name,type,whateverA,whateverB,whateverC);
In this case my list won't be a game object or even a scriptable object though, so I'm not sure it would work.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You don't need to add an object to a container to save it, if that's what you mean; you can save and load the ScriptableObject directly. For example, if you have a ScriptableObject that you want to save, you would save it using:
And then load it into an existing instance:
Or to load it as a new instance if the same instance doesn't already exist:
If you have multiple ScriptableObjects of the same type that you want to save at the same time, you'd simply put them into a List or array and save it in the same way as saving a single ScriptableObject:
All the best,

Are there any step by step video tutorials?

Hi there,

We’re currently in the process of making a tutorial video which shows how you would integrate Easy Save into one of the sample projects which we’re hoping will be available in the next couple of weeks (we have studio time books in to record the narration next week).

All the best,

Hi, I'm wondering how easy save handles encryption on multiple files. I want to make a settings file that anyone can edit if they need to and a separate encrypted file that no one should edit that handles things like high score.

Is that possible?

Hi there,

You can find information on providing different settings for different files in the Settings guide:

Greetings,

I have been able to get ES3 up and running with little trouble on a standalone Windows version of my game. I'm swapping between 2 save files in case one gets corrupted, making directories, multiple users, the whole deal. But I cannot for the life of me get it to work with WebGL. It seems to be saving just fine, but if I refresh the page and try to load, the game reports that no save file exists. Is there some trick/something different that needs to be done for WebGL? I've dug around the documentation on the site here and I am not finding anything to help.

Thanks!
