Is there a way to set "save game object children" for a separate game object?

Is there a way to set "save game object children" for a separate game object?
I know there is a global setting in the settings menu and there is an ES3 Game Object to decide which component to save.
But these two settings can not be set for a separate game object.
In my project characters have only a part that needs to save the children and have a big tree (i.e. bones ) that does not need to be saved.

The closet one is a global setting for excluding objects but it is wire to add all characters in it.

It would be best if there is a "save child flag" in the ES3 Game Object. When set it true the game object child is excluded from save.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

You can do this by providing an ES3Settings object as a parameter to your ES3.Save call with the saveChildren flag set to true or false. I.e.

Code: Select all

var settings = new ES3Settings();
settings.saveChildren = false;
ES3.Save("key", value, settings);

All the best,
Joel

Great, thank you.

Can I overwrite the default settings and set them back?
like this:

ES3Settings t = ES3Settings.defaultSettings;
t.saveChildren = false;
ES3.Save(go.name, go, _sceneName, t);
t.saveChildren = true;

Yes, this is a valid way of doing it. You could actually simplify your code to this:

ES3Settings.defaultSettings.saveChildren = false;
ES3.Save(go.name, go, _sceneName);
ES3Settings.defaultSettings.saveChildren = true;

All the best,
Joel
