I watched this video while in bed, don’t even have Unity open, and it makes sense. Thank you very much! I’m excited to get my game started

*Question*
How do you use this to save multiple different systems?




*Possible Answer*
Each System would have it's SaveObject and a function that returns a JSON string, then you would have a master SaveObject that would contain multiple string fields for storing each system JSON save string.
You would then save the final JSON from that object into a save file.
For loading you would load that master SaveObject and then use the stored JSON save strings to load all the other systems.

The speed in which you typed "GameHandler" was incredible. You bow to no-one sir.

This is thee JSON video I needed thanks for making this!!

In 5:33, You forgot to put "/" in line 18 before "savefile.json". Oddly, in 5:54, the "/" appears in line 18.

Super useful, much easier than the binary formatter system that I was initially advised to use. Thanks!

5.42 : File.WriteAllText (Application.dataPath + "saveFile.json", json);
5.55 : File.WriteAllText (Application.dataPath + "/saveFile.json", json);
Good joke :)
After a few questions about this code that was not working, I was able to finish the video. Jason is a nice, accommodating little guy ...

[redbeardjunior]

[MaizeDaniele]

Great tutorial! Is JSON + IO better than playerprefs in terms of performance? If I have to save settings, what's the best way? JSON or playerprefs? thanks.

[vilmaryssalgadovivenes]

If you cant see your file generated under your project folder name try to replace Application.dataPath for it worked for me. it will looks like: + "/saveFile.json", json);

[ManasJoshi]
