How can you save custom components of a gameobject aswell?

[Recktardeded]

Hello, i have a list of gameobjects where i would like to save a custom script aswell(as i ve seen custom scripts are not available to be saved, only unity built in components/scripts). I was thinking i could save just a few floats necesarry to the gameobject, but maybe saving the script itself would be quicker/easier to manage.I wanted to save the enum, and a few floats, but i do not know how to manage the saving/loading for all the elements inside the list. Here is the custom script for reference:
{
public FruitType_SO plant_fruitType_SO;
[field:Header("Growing")]
private bool growing_Finished = false;
public float growing_currentTime { get; private set; }
private GameObject[] growing_fruitsMeshesToGrow;
[field: Header("Collecting")]
public bool collecting_plant_hasFruitAvailable{ get; private set; }
private float plantLifeTime;
private int collecting_maxCapacity;
private float fruitRegenTimer = 0.5f;
public int plant_currentFruitAmount { get; private set; }
private float collecting_timeToGrowAnotherFruit;
[field: Header("Growing")]
public bool ded_canRemovePlant;
//misc necesary
private float growing_timerInitialize = 1f;
private enum Growing_Phases
{
Growing,
Collecting,
Ded
}
private Growing_Phases plant_currentPhase;
private void Awake()
{
ded_canRemovePlant = false;
plantLifeTime = 15f;
plant_currentPhase = Growing_Phases.Growing;
growing_Finished = false;
Growing_SelectFruitsToGrow();
}
void Update()
{
switch (plant_currentPhase)
{
case Growing_Phases.Growing:
Growing_IncreaseFruitScale();
break;
case Growing_Phases.Collecting:
{
Collecting_RegenFruits();
plantLifeTime -= 1 * Time.deltaTime;
if(plantLifeTime > 0)
{
plant_currentPhase = Growing_Phases.Collecting;
}
if(plantLifeTime <= 0)
{
collecting_plant_hasFruitAvailable = false;
plant_currentFruitAmount = 0;
plant_currentPhase = Growing_Phases.Ded;
//foreach(GameObject obj in growing_fruitsMeshesToGrow)
//Destroy(obj);
}
}
break;
case Growing_Phases.Ded:
ded_canRemovePlant = true;
break;
}
if (plant_currentFruitAmount > 0)
{
collecting_plant_hasFruitAvailable = true;
}
if (plant_currentFruitAmount <= 0)
{
collecting_plant_hasFruitAvailable = false;
}
}
private void Growing_IncreaseFruitScale()
{
float scaleFactor = 1f - Mathf.Clamp01(growing_currentTime / Mathf.Max(0.001f, growing_timerInitialize));
foreach (GameObject obj in growing_fruitsMeshesToGrow)
{
obj.transform.localScale = Vector3.Lerp(Vector3.one * 0.25f, Vector3.one, scaleFactor);
}
growing_currentTime -= Time.deltaTime;
if (growing_currentTime <= 0f && !growing_Finished)
{
plant_currentPhase = Growing_Phases.Collecting;
growing_Finished = true;
}
}
private void Growing_SelectFruitsToGrow()
{
growing_fruitsMeshesToGrow = new GameObject[transform.childCount];
// Loop through each child and add it to the array
for (int i = 0; i < transform.childCount; i++)
{
growing_fruitsMeshesToGrow = transform.GetChild(i).gameObject;
transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.transform.localScale = Vector3.zero;
}
}
public void Growth_SetTimer(float newVal)
{
growing_currentTime = newVal;
growing_timerInitialize = newVal;
}
private void Collecting_InitializePlant()
{
string NameOfPlant = gameObject.tag.Substring("Plant_".Length);
plant_fruitType_SO = GameManager.Instance.manager_Data.GetFruitType(NameOfPlant);
}
public void Collecting_Collect()
{
plant_currentFruitAmount--;
Debug.Log(plant_currentFruitAmount);
}
public void Collecting_RegenFruits()
{
if (plant_currentFruitAmount < 10)
{
// Decrease the timer by deltaTime
fruitRegenTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

// Check if the timer has reached zero
if (fruitRegenTimer <= 0f)
{
// Increase the number of cycles
plant_currentFruitAmount++;
// Reset the timer to 5 seconds
fruitRegenTimer = 0.5f;
}
}
}
private void InitializePlantProperties()
{
plantLifeTime = plant_fruitType_SO.plant_collect_LifeTime;
}
}
Thank you for your time!

Hi there,

This is covered in the Saving and Loading GameObjects guide:
https://docs.moodkie.com/easy-save-3/es ... s-prefabs/

Specifically the Choosing which Components are saved section.

All the best,
Joel

Thank you for your reply, but could you please let me know what would be the best way to load/save the list? Should i load it on awake, and save it with autosave or when i add/remove gameobjects?

Hi there,

When you save very much depends on your project, but saving on Awake and whenever the List changes is appropriate.

All the best,
Joel
