Hi,

You can then save vector3 without problems,

Hey Jean,

So I get a vector 3, but how do I attach the player prefs key to my prefab player object so it is getting and setting the value of that object? It just states get vector 3, which I did then I stored it in a variable, but when the scene reloads that variable is wiped so I can't pull the vector 3 data from it. So how would I attach a key to an object so it's setting and getting information from that object?

I've attached some screen captures of loading the object into the scene, how I thought I need to set a key, and then capturing the position/rotation

redikann,

I'll zip it up and send you another message.

Thanks!

Hi,

 there isn't any automatic binding between a playerpref key and what controls it ( your prefab), so you need to create a key yourself.

typically, you will need to do the following:

1: when you instanciate a prefab, you need to give it a unique name or id,
2: when you want to store the player position, you create a key that starts with the prefab name or id + "-position" so you would have "Prefab1-position"
3: then when set get this key from the playerprefs, you can't get mixed up between prefabs.

does that make sense? the playerPrefs is a very raw system, a list of key/value pairs, so you need create your keys very carefully so that they are unique and don't overwrite one another.

bye,

Hi Jean,

Thanks! That process does make sense!

and thank you to Redikann for going over my project files for me to help get a working solution!
