Easy way to save rigidbody state.

Questions & Answers

Is there an easy way to save the state of a Rigidbody component (velocity, angular velocity, mass, etc.) so it can be loaded to a GameObject in the future?

For example: The player fires a gun, so a bullet is instantiated with a certain velocity, that may or may not stay the same. The player uses a save feature to save the game. Then, the player uses a load feature to restore the game state. I want the bullet to still have the same velocity as before, and not fall straight to the ground.

I tried serializing the Rigidbody component using a binary formatter, but it isn’t marked as serializable.

Do I have to create a container class with all the rigidbody’s variables and serialize that instead?

Thanks for helping :slight_smile:

If you have a script on the bullet, you can just extend the usual serialization for the rigidbody by implementing this interface:
