Loading with ArrayPrefs

[anon95971066]

what im trying to do is add a save load feature into my game, i want to save the location fo all the cubes in the game. i'm using the arrayprefs script from http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=ArrayPrefs. i have my save function working but i cant figure out how to load the game from my main menu scene. Here is my load function. this script is in my main menu.

function loadGame()
    {
        Application.LoadLevel("start");
        for (i=0 ; i < button2.cubes.length ; i++)
        {
        curName = button2.cubes*;*
 *var go = Instantiate(cube2, PlayerPrefsX.GetVector3(curName), Quaternion.identity);*
 *go.name = curName;*
 *Debug.Log("lOADED!");*
 *}*
 *}*
*```*
*<p>button2 is my saving script is in my first level, here is what the save function looks like for that level. </p>*
*```*
*static var cubes = new Array();*
*var cubeCount = 0;*
*function Update()*
*{*
*if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))*
 *{*
 *var go = Instantiate(cube2, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;*
 *go.name = "cube"+cubeCount;*
 *cubes.Add("cube"+cubeCount);*
 *cubeCount++;*
 *}* 
*if(Input.GetKey("m"))*
 *{*
 *saveGame();*
 *Debug.Log("saved");*
 *}*
*}*
*function saveGame()*
 *{*
 *for (i=0 ; i < cubes.length - 1 ; i++)*
 *{*
 _curName = cubes*;*_
 _*PlayerPrefsX.SetVector3( curName, GameObject.Find(curName).transform.position);*_
 _*}*_
_*```*_
_*<p>What am i doing worng? </p>*_
<em>_<p>EDIT**</p>_</em>
_*<p>here are my new scripts. </p>*_
_*<p>This is my CubeManager script that is attached to empty gameobjects in the first level and the main menu.</p>*_
_*```*_
_*static var cubes = new List.<Transform>();*_

Are you saving your `cubes` array as well? If not how can you iterate through the array if it's empty ;)

Never used `PlayerPrefsX` yet, so i can't help you much but to get the cude count back you just have to save it. Since your cube names are just the index you can regenerate the pref-name with `"cube" + i`. If you want to restore the complete state, don't forget to push your cubes into your cubes array at loading.

static var cubes = new List.<Transform>();

function CreateCube(position : Vector3) : Transform
{
    var cube : GameObject = Instantiate(cube2, position, Quaternion.identity);
    cube.name = "cube" + cubes.Count;
    cubes.Add(cube.transform);
}

function SaveCubes()
{
    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("cubeCount", cubes.Count);
    for(var T : Transform in cubes)
    {
        PlayerPrefsX.SetVector3(T.name,T.position);
    }
}

function LoadCubes()
{
    cubes.Clear();
    var cubeCount = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("cubeCount");
    for(var i = 0; i < cubeCount; i++)
    {
        CreateCube(PlayerPrefsX.GetVector3("cube"+i));
    }
}

!!not tested!!

I just wrote that from scratch.

If this script is called "CubeManager" you can use this from any other script as long as the CubeManager is attached to a GameObject in the scene:

var managerScript : CubeManager = FindObjectOfType(CubeManager);

managerScript.LoadCubes();

ps. fixed a typing mistake the second SaveCubes should be LoadCubes of course ;)
