Made with Unity 2018.x
This is a small collection of components to help save/load data between scenes and to a save file.
Create a GameObject and add the DataManager component to it. This component is a singleton and there should only be 1 per scene. The component will also mark the GameObject as "DontDestroyOnLoad"
Important You need to use the DataManagers scene changing function in order to save the states or merge your scene changer into it / merge the data managers into your scene changing function.
To change a scene use:
DataManager.current.ChangeScene(string sceneName, bool dontSave);To save data from a GameObject add the StateSaver component. Set the UID to a unique ID that will be used for the location this data is stored. Next you need to check which components you want to save. By default only bool, string, int, and float values will be stored. If you need to store other types you will need to create a component that uses the interface IStateSaver.
To save the data you need to use the function:
DataManager.current.Save(int SAVEINDEX);This will save all save states to a save file. Save folder is located in Application.persistentDataPath
To load a save file:
DataManager.current.Load(int SAVEINDEX, bool goToLoadedScene);This will load the save file with that index. If the bool is true it will change scenes to the scene that save file was last at.
If you need to clear all the save states (Ex, on a New Game) use the function:
DataManager.current.InitNewGame();
