If you are asking how to overwrite JSON file in the project in runtime - this is not possible.

You need to save changed data to Local Storage.

On start of the game check if the data in Local Storage exists. If it does - load from Local Storage. If it doesn't exist - load from JSON file.

I need to save the game state so I can transfer it to another computer.

I think if I can save as JSON I can also load as JSON. But I only saw an option to load JSON and not save. It is possible to save game state so that the save can be transferred to another computer and then on another computer to continue playing from the same place.

So you're talking about the System Save/Load system?

After performing "System Save" you can access save state JSON using expression SaveStateJSON, inside "On Save Complete" event.

Then you can save it in a web game using "Browser - Invoke download" action, or in NWJS game using Write File action.

You don't need Local Storage.

On Save Complete: Browser Invoke Download of a string SaveStateJSON

Thanks!!! it works but I do not need to create a download file from it, I need to save it as a string variable and I do not understand that.

If you want to save it to a variable simply do "Set var to SaveStateJSON"
