Saving Custom Script Variables

Drewid · February 23

Hey all,

I've got everything working, except one thing! I have a custom script on objects that handles doors, if they're locked, if they're ever able to open etc. Simple boolean values.

When loading a saved game, these get set back to their defaults as they were when the scene initially loads.

Is there any easy way for me to remember the variables on a custom script?

My other idea was to go through and setup an AC "component variables" on each object, and a "remember variables" on that, and change the script I wrote to reference the component variable state.

If I need to do that, then I'm happy to go through and do it - was just hoping there might be something quicker

Thanks!

A guide to writing custom "Remember" components can be found here.

As you're dealing with simple Bool values, though, relying on Variables / Remember Variables would be easier. To get/set a variable from a Variables component, use:

var variables = GetComponent<Variables> ();
var myVariable = variables.GetVariable ("MyBool");
myVariable.BooleanValue = true;
if (myVariable.BooleanValue) {}

Thanks, Chris!

I got the custom Remember working ... then was having lock ups because I forgot not all objects are enabled at runtime.

Have switched over to Variables/Remember Variables now instead and it's working perfectly. Thanks again for your help.
