Save SCRIPTABLE OBJECTS - Unity Tutorial

In this video we will learn how to save multiple objects with their position and scripted object references saved. This save system uses Binary and can be used across multiple platforms

Thanks! This was helpful!

that puppy love made this vid even better.

Really good and interesting video! I quite enjoy your style of teaching :D

[@KillerGameDev]

Ive been doing unity for years... I usually only remove the namespaces when Im done making my scripts and never remove monobehavior because I didnt know when it would mess things up. I really appreciate how you clearly say why you are removing namespaces and monobehavior. Removing as you code is a lot better than optimizing after the fact. =)

[@kapkoder4009]

Yup, if we understand why we do even little things, than in the future whenever your working with something that has to do with that one little thing, your knowledge of that one little thing can help you comprehend, work through or even use better methods to run your code
In fact your ability to code great things has to do with your ability to manipulate your code, and sometimes you just need a bunch of logic lol like wrapping your head around things, I remember coding a waypoint algorithm and I would have to heavily understand every single thing that was happening in my code to figure what was wrong

@@kapkoder4009 I like your mindset. Subscribing. =)

[@xxispade]

That was great. I'm hoping to make a metroid style save area.

[@ghostwarrior8196]

wow there is literally no other video like this

[@Golden_Hephaestus]

Thank you! However, is there way to load a list of prefabs instead of a single one? Or would I have to copy and past a lot of this for each prefab I want saved? Thank in advance!

[@WheremyPoptart]

The base for this is pretty good but the system currently isn't that great for a large amount of items since each item is being saved in its own file. You can add a list of data to the SaveGameManager and do something like this
private List fishData = new List();
private void Save()
{
string key = AUDIENCE_KEY + SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
fishData.Clear(); //Clear the list before saving it or you'll end up duplicating items
for (int i = 0; i

[@kapkoder4009]

That’s actually a really good idea. Thank you so much!

[@WheremyPoptart]

public static void Delete(T obj, string key)
{
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
string path = Application.persistentDataPath + SAVES_PATH;
if(File.Exists(path + key))
{
File.Delete(path+key);
}
else
{
Debug.LogError("Couldn't delete file in " + path + key);
}
}
Use in the SaveSystem script. Can iterate through in the savemanager

[@facundoflores6084]

Ok so let me get this. Saves can only stores numbers, strings and bool. So if i want to store an scriptable object I can only store it's name (or id) and Load and Save with that.
Does that mean that I cannot have 2 scriptable objects with the same name?

[@kapkoder4009]

Why would you use the name to save it?
In this video we don't save using the fishes in game name, we use its scripted object ASSET NAME, and no asset in unity can share the same name so its perfect for using the asset name as a reference for what type of fish a fish really is, like a minnow or a gold fish?
They both have the same fish class but only different appearances such as sprite, name and cost and so on so forth
Hope this clarified things for you :)

[@Test-qz2ej]

You cool

[@shinronitgaming486]

Can I have multiple save files using this system? (For the same scene )Because I think you are creting a save file for each fish.

[@alonsorojas4119]

with this method can i save game objects wih components, for example its box colaider o line render, i wanna save a line render created by two points(this have a child game object) that has been selected for the user, i tried to save this with game objects position, but every line render has the same position.

[@kapkoder4009]

Yes you can save that stuff but you can't save components directly
You can save bools and floats, and say, if has boxcollider than AddComponent() add save the x and y size in float float if needed
Same thing for the line renderer
if (hasLineRenderer)
{
LineRenderer line = AddComponent();
float[] positions = new float[2];
positions.x = savedXValue;
positions.y = savedYValue;
line.SetPositions(positions);
}
Atleast that's how I remember how to set line points
Hope this helped

[@jumpjumpdiegaming]

Fishes would be the right word :D Because fishes is a word for lots of fish, but lots of different species of fish.

[@Ziplock9000]

It's really strange this isn't part of the bulit-in functionality of SO's already as it actually does this in the editor!

[@Kalahee]

TL:DW wersion - Basically, you can't save a scriptable object.
You'll be pulling its data into a class that can be serialized into a file.

[@kapkoder4009]

Yes sir, but we also go about how to do that, if you already know how to save data then that’s basically what we’re doing

[@rodrigoprimata6833]

Bro can't you save the public variables of a gameobject script when pasting the gameobject

@@kapkoder4009 Hello, your video helped me alot. it works fantastic by me. Realy thank you for this! Now i try to save this data to a cloud from google play. do you know what exactly i have to change to save it in a cloud and load it? I use the cloudsavingscript from this video: ua-cam.com/video/kcxmFWKx0T8/v-deo.html
But I would like to rebuild it so that it fits the storage function as in your video. I think something has to be changed on the path, but I don't know exactly what. could you help me by this pls

[@neozoid7009]

How you are using Fish type for instantiation??

[@kapkoder4009]

Because Fish is a prefab of a gameObject but I am allowed to say type "Fish" instead of type "GameObject" because the fishPrefab (gameObject) has my Fish.cs script on it
Therefore, the fishPrefab gameObject classifies as a Fish
And therefore once more!! I'm a happy coconut 🥥😌😌😌

[@neozoid7009]

@@kapkoder4009 what if there is no Fish.cs script attach to it??

[@kapkoder4009]

@@neozoid7009 well you need a script, unless you have a creative way of going around it which there isn't really (to my belief)
Because if an object has components you need to access (ie. Sprite renderer, collider) than its easier to give that object a script of its own so its own script can have a reference to its components rather than having some other class collect all the components from several objects, doing something with them, and than throwing away the components instead of having them cached
So make a script for your object
If your making a penguin, make a Penguin.cs
If your making a goblin, make a Goblin.cs
If your making meth, make a Meth.cs
Hope dis helps
