Shared Variable Save System

Some scriptable objects for sharing data between game elements and a system for saving the runtime values of those shared variables. Based on this tutorial: architect with scriptable objects and now updated to use generics based on this: saving scriptable object variables

How to use

• Create a new SaveObject (under the asset create menu)
• Create Variables you want to have saved (Assets->Create->Variables)
• Put Variables in folder with the same name as the SaveObject
• Add Variables to SaveObject's Data list. (click search for variables to find all variables under /[SaveObjectName]/ folder.)
• Create SaveMethod for where you want to save (Binary or PlayerPrefs)
• Add SaveMethod to save SaveObject
• Write classes use Variables to store and share data.
• You can write your own SaveMethods to extend the system to save to remote locations.

sharedvariablesavesystem's Issues

Fix Save Object Unit tests

I need to test the different save methods to make sure they work and that the tests validate all the functions of the save object.

see if i can make an abstract test class that lets me test the different implementations with a standardized test that should work for the level that i need it to work. like SavableVariableTests that all the var type tests could extend.

Custom Editor for Save Object

• Methods List
• Variable List
• Extra info (save file size, etc)

Don't force OnAfterDeserialization

I think i setup some of the variable drawers to force the initial value into runtime value but that's bad when the game is running.

Duplicate code

You can get rid of a lot of the duplicated code from different types of variables by using generics.

Documentation

I need to finish updating the documentation for the new save object. would also be nice to include a tutorial.

• do a xml comments pass to fill out what i might have missed or changed
• update save object doc in wiki to include save methods
• maybe see about making a website branch to use for the github.io site

Save Method Extendable

• need to validate that it works
• update documentation

Unify Property Drawers for SaveMethods and SavableVariables

I would like to have a mostly unified drawer that handles both the asset inspector and list item for SavableVariables and SaveMethods. and preferably keeping all of it to editor scripts.

this video might be what i'm looking to do.
