Hello everybody,
I am struggeling to save my game state, or the state of a single scene.
I am using the Packed_Scene.pack() approach and have set all nodes owners to the scene root wich will be saved.
I encounter the following problems:
-vars of the script want to get reinitialized in the _ready function, I changed everything to init in an own_init() function, so this problem get bypassed
-I've marked all vars in the scenes' script with export hints, so they get saved, sometimes godot crashes with no error, especially for nodes saved in a var.
-all dynamically added child nodes won't get saved, although their owner is set
-all other child nodes load in their initial state - the current position of sprites, their modulate, everything is lost
Since somehow it is not intuitive how this concept of using PackedScenes.pack(stufftosave) should be used, can anybody tell me a workflow of how to save a random, complex scene in its current state?
I am fine with reinitializing stuff that changed, I just don't know how godots' concept is supposed to work.
For me it is not obvious at all why certain export vars cause crashes while others don't, why added children won't get saved and also the properties of the original scenes children.
I'd be very thankful if someone could line out what kind of things need to be saved seperately and why a loaded packed scene can't find its subnotes anymore.
Here my steps to see what I tried so far:
My root (Game)
I ll try to save the currentGame... Node
My code to save and load, with a recursive function to set all owners of the node that I ll save
Globalscenes.Kapitel1 points to the currentGame... node
The way the scene will get added again
parts of the scene, it is inherited
It will show up, but in its initial state. Child nodes which I added during the game play are missing. also the positions of the nodes are reset. Other errors occur when I try to drag and drop, since it can't find its children anymore.
Thanks in advance!
