XML Save and Load

[Nog]

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to use an XML file and DataMaker XML to create a save and load system, so the player can save his or her progress while they are playing a game?

Thank you for any information.

Hi,

 yep, totally. You would need to use PlayerPrefs to save your xml as a string and store it on the user device, then XmlMaker can create nodes, edit them etc, and then saving it back as a string to be stored in that player pref.

Hello,

How do you create and save XML files with PlayerPrefs? I believe the XML Select Nodes action can be used to extract data from the XML file using the Xpath query, but how do you save data to XML files?

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

I have pm you with a early build. I need to go over all samples to clean them up before making a public release.

Any chance that this would be added to be a part of 1.8's release?

Hi,

I don't think this is the plan to put more in, at least on the front.


 Bye,
