How to save a GameObject which is created in runtime ?

[raytsang]

Hi, I am using a plugin called "TriLib" to load a .fbx file into the scene in runtime.
The model is then set the parent to "GameSceneRoot".
I would like to save all the content under "GameSceneRoot"

Code: Select all

ES3.Save<GameObject>("GameSceneRoot", gameSceneRoot);

save.png (104.27 KiB) Viewed 3138 times

Code: Select all

ES3.LoadInto<GameObject>("GameSceneRoot", gameSceneRoot);

load.png (107.28 KiB) Viewed 3138 times

But I cannot get the same model after Load, anyone help ?

Hi there,

When saving the GameObject, your mesh will be stored by reference rather than by value. So you will need to save the Mesh separately using ES3.Save<Mesh>, as this will save it by value.

For more information I answered a question on this recently:

Thanks for the reply.

For example, the GameObject 'GameSceneRoot' consists of 'RootNode' which got Animation as a component, then the 'Fire_Extinguisher' has 'Mesh Filter' and 'Mesh Renderer'
How can I save all components recursively ?? Thanks

Finally, i can get all the components in 'GameSceneRoot'

Code: Select all

        Component[] components = gameSceneRoot.GetComponentsInChildren<Component>(true);
        foreach (Component c in components)
        {
            Debug.Log(c.name + " " + c.GetType().ToString());
        }   

However, I don't know how to save it using ES3.Save<T> as i cannot pass the type to T...

One more question to ask, is it the right direction? Am I suppose to loop a GameObject by myself ?
As I would like to have a simple one line command to save the entire target (GameObject) by purchasing a plugin to do with

Hi there,

ES3.Save<GameObject> will save all supported Components on a GameObject. For more info, please see the following guide:
https://docs.moodkie.com/easy-save-3/es ... s-prefabs/

Note that you will need to save each GameObject and child separately as it will not automatically save child GameObjects.

All the best,
