Creating multiple saves or slots

[Landen]

Hello,

I've figured out how to save and load stuff but I was wondering how I would go about making multiple save slots. It surprised me how little information I could find about this. All I need is some example code or another post about this that could get me on the right track.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Landen,

To create save slots you simply need to specify a separate file for each save slot and save and load using that file. For example, when the player selects a save slot, you could put the filename into a static variable. i.e.

if(playerPressesSlot1Button)
    saveSlot = "slot1.json";
else if (playerPressesSlot2Button)
    saveSlot = "slot2.json";

And then when you come to save and load, simply use the filename specified by this static variable.

ES2.Save(myData, saveSlot + "?tag=myData");
myData = ES2.Load<string>(saveSlot + "?tag=myData")

All the best,
Joel

Thank you so much!

I got my save slot system working great.
