  • I've managed to get my save and load system to work with state save JSON but I prefer to save variables instead of state save in case of issues in the future when I update the game. Also I'd like to separate my settings saves and game saves.

    I'm new to using the file system, thanks for your help in advance.

  • The easiest way is to put all variables into a dictionary. Then write Dictionary.AsJSON to a text file.

    To load: read the text file and use 'Dictionary Load from FileSystem.FileText'. Then extract all variable values from the dictionary.

    Thanks, is it possible to expand on your method? I've never used dictionary before and I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

    Thanks! I managed to figure out the rest on where I was going wrong as I've never used Dictionary before and I'm new to File System
