Keep some changes in scene for specific objects after reload

CProrammer

So I want to have some objects on my scene that I want to keep changes after scene reloads, for example chests, when player open one I want to keep information that specific chest is already open and there is no possible to open it again after scene reload. To be clear I understand saving information/loading information to and from json, and I know I can handle it by booleans, and store that information in dic etc. my problem is different.

So for example I put some chests on my scene, my first idea is to give every objects I want to keep track an unique ID: 10001, 10002, 10003 and create one or many json files for every scene that holds track to ID 10001 : true, 10002 : false and after every scene reload in _ready func I can load that information.

But the problem is: I have to set an unique ID manually to every object I want to keep track to, so I can make mistakes and give a same ID to 2 different objects and it will makes bugs. Other think is I have to manually create json file for every map with ID for every object, so if I will have hundreds of objects it will be waste of time.

Can you help me guys?

Don't know why people tend to use json for everything. In most cases it's much easier to do it with custom resource classes:

Write a resource class with a dictionary holding chest states. Dictionary keys can be node path strings.
Make a resource object of that class and save/load it as needed. Access state via paths in dictionary keys.

Sounds good, I will give it a try and let u know if Ill have a problem. And json was my choice because I have a 7years of experience in c++, and resources are GODOT thing so this is not what comes to my mind first.
