How to Save

[misterjuly]

Hello,

I have the free asset, smooth save. I would need to remember player location and number of collectibles I have received. I think I tried reaching out to him by email, but I don't think he takes emails (only from people who bought the asset when it was previously paid he responds to, I think). If anyone is familiar with how to use this asset some guidance would be great. Thanks!

One thing I want to specify is that I would need to be able to save these values while switching scenes (go to one scene and then back to the position where I switched scenes or gain a collectible then go back to the first scene with the game remembering) for example. Hope this makes sense. Thanks again!

Hi.
If you want to save during the game session (so not saving when player quits game)

Then you should make a object which you can store in a global variable to access it.
Make a fsm (call it Data for example)
on start use 'Singleton' (Ecosystem) and give it some name.
This will make sure that there will be only 1 object of this and if you load a certain scene again it will automatically remove the one on the scene.

Also use a Don't Destroy On Load to make sure it does not get destroyed when loading other scenes

Now add variable you need and you can access them with the get/set fsm actions

I think I figured it out. Thanks for your help!
