basic easy save 3

Hi,
When I follow the getting started tutorial and use
ES3.Save("myInt", 123);
myInt = ES3.Load("myInt", defaultValue); <---- this doesn't work
It seems like I need to use
myInt = ES3.Load("myInt", filepath, defaultValue); <------ (question 1)Is there a way to ignore filepath like the manual?
and also the filepath should always contain ".es3" as in "myFile.es3"(question2)?
(question 3) can I load a csv spreadsheet from resources?
since I need to use "var myValue = ES3.Load<Vector3>("myKey", "myFile.bytes", settings);" how would I load filename.csv?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi there,
I don't appear to be having any issues with the defaultValue parameter, and have had no reports of this. I used the following script to test this and it outputs 345 as expected:
Code: Select all
using UnityEngine;
public class SaveInt : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
ES3.DeleteFile();
Debug.Log(ES3.Load("myInt", 345)); // Returns 345
}
}
Please could you create a script which I can drop into a new scene in a new project which replicates this? Also please ensure you are using the latest version of Easy Save.
Also you can use any file extension that you want. The only exception is when loading from Resources, where you must use the extension ".bytes".
CSV is a file format, not a file extension. So it doesn't matter if the file extension isn't ".csv" as long as the data inside that file is still in CSV format.
Regarding loading a CSV file from Resources, the instructions in the
Loading from Resources guide also apply when using ES3Spreadsheet (see
the ES3Spreadsheet guide).
All the best,
Joel

Hi Joel,
Thank you very much for your reply.
As you told me the code works really well. (not sure why it didn't work before)
I also was curious if I can load a text file like filename.txt as a whole from resources.
I want to drag and drop a filename.txt file in resources and load it.
var myValue = ES3.Load<Vector3>("myKey", "myFile.bytes", settings); <----- since I want to load the whole file there is no "myKey"
and also since I drag and dropped a .txt file, the file would end in ".txt" rather than "bytes".
Would this still work or be possible?
Thanks again.
Best,
June

Hi there,
To do this you can use Unity's Resources functionality. I.e. to load a file named MyFile.txt:
Code: Select all
TextAsset textFile = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("MyFile"); // No extension required
For info on the TextAsset object that it returns, please see Unity's docs:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TextAsset.html
All the best,
Joel
