Questions & Answers

Hi everyone !

I started developping on unity just a few weeks ago so there’s probably a way to do it but I can’t figure it out 'till now.

My probleme is that I want to store a gameObject from the hierarchy into a MySql database and eventualy load it back later.
It’s ok for the connection to the database the probleme is how do I store a gameobject in it.

Thank you for answering.

PS : I use C#

Here’s a workaround to serialize a MonoBehavior class:
