Try to save value from TMPro field into Json,Try to save TMPro value into JSON file

Questions & Answers

So I have this problem where my saved JSON file looks like this:

        {
          "Items": [
            { "score": { "instanceID": 24224 } },
            { "score": { "instanceID": 24224 } }
          ]
        }

I want it to store the “score” value, which is a float. When I look to see what the value behind a “score” value, console writes “0”.

 using System.Collections;
     using System.Collections.Generic;
     using UnityEngine;
     using UnityEngine.SocialPlatforms.Impl;
     
     public class InputScoreHandler : MonoBehaviour
     {
     
         [SerializeField] InputScoreEntry score;
         [SerializeField] string filename;
     
         List<InputScoreEntry> entries = new List<InputScoreEntry>();
         
         private void Start()
         {
             entries = FileHandler.ReadListFromJSON<InputScoreEntry>(filename);
         }
         public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
         {
             if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Finish"))
             {
             entries.Add(new InputScoreEntry (score.points));
                 Debug.Log(score.points);
                 score.points = 0f;
                 FileHandler.SaveToJSON<InputScoreEntry>(entries, filename);
             }
         }
     }

Here’s the InputScoreEntry code that I used in the previous script

[System.Serializable]
public class InputScoreEntry
{
public float points { get; set; }

     public InputScoreEntry(float points)
     {
         this.points = points;
     }
 }

and functions from FlieHandler that I use in InputScoreHandler

      public static List<T> ReadListFromJSON<T>(string filename)
         {
             string content = ReadFile(GetPath(filename));
     
             if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(content) || content == "{}")
             {
                 return new List<T>();
             }
     
             List<T> res = JsonHelper.FromJson<T>(content).ToList();
     
             return res;
     
         }
     
         public static void SaveToJSON<T>(List<T> toSave, string filename)
         {
             Debug.Log(GetPath(filename));
             string content = JsonHelper.ToJson<T>(toSave.ToArray());
             WriteFile(GetPath(filename), content);
         }

Also, I have the script that counts the time that the car ends the race, and there is also the value that I want to store, which is the same value I tried to save in previous scripts but in Time script it is held by float. Will this time script be a better place to save it into Json?

Hello, you are trying to save a list of serializable objects, try to put the list of points inside your serializable object and save this object instead, like:

[System.Serializable]
public class InputScoreEntry
{
    public List<float> points;
}

Hope this helps.
