I'm a bit under the weather so my voice is a bit weird, sorry about that. If you have suggestions or you need help let me know as always 🙂

[@yugbhagat6531]

yeah, just change the tone in-between..u know what i mean....like uk just bring some enthusiasm ..i guess XD

[@Aleksandr_Mak]

Man! You're the best. I finally did a save for my game.

[@ExoticElephantStudios]

Thanks Pandemonium, very cool

[@W1nDs0R]

Your video are fantastic, thanks so much and keep up the good work :)

[@eddie.z]

Great Tutorial :) I might use this for one of my future videos! Thanks!

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Glad to hear it helped, send me a link when it's uploaded 😁

[@turb0lt610]

Great tutorial. Can you make a tutorial about Play Services Cloud Save ? I added this saving method to my game and I would like to save the data on cloud as well.

[@MrBear69]

would it also be possible for you to make a map selection, that will work with the current car selection? Would be awesome to see that

[@thushanjananeththi3591]

Thanks , it's realy working.

[@M1dn1ghts0n]

this tutorial is great, but I don't know how to make the camera follow the spawned in character as it only spawns in during game and never stays in scene.

[@bodhizatva]

hey man great tutorial, I have a question. Everything works just fine when the game is running. as soon as I stop playing its as if it deletes the data saved. starts back from 0. I'm saving an int. wondering if its something you've come across. while the game is running it keeps saving and keeps correct data.

[@blacklight8932]

Thanks

[@Drygasanime]

Everything works except now when I load car after selection, camera falls through floor. I suspect its because I have to attach "parent rigidbody" of the car, but with this method there are no cars in the scene, only the CarController which only just loads in the selected car, so if I attach camera's "parent rigidbody" to it, it doesnt work as intended.

[@john_donne]

Bro Thank You!!!

[@MR.OOFofficial]

can you make a video of saving money using the same file next time?

[@StigDesign]

Love it :D :D Thank you :) i hope you make more tutorials like this :D like at the moment am working on i got the car and track selection working thanks to your car selection tutorial :D right now am working on how to get the hud on the car to set it properties like speed text tacometer dial image(i think its called) hehe, i have it working but not that they find/get the stuff only that i have 2 cars with 2 huds XD

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Awesome! Will need more explanations on the second part. You want to make a speedometer, right? But you also want to have 2 speedometers for 2 different cars?

[@StigDesign]

@@PandemoniumGameDev oh no i haave allready made the code for speedometer , and text on canvas and also image they both react properly for the car. :) my prtoblem is that i have 2 cars so far, and since i havnt coded: find canvas/ Get object in awake in the hud, so i have manually added its public in inspector the different parts: rpm text speed text with bool if Mph or Km/t and image that slice`s depending on the speed :D since i have done this in this way(i knwo is noob way and not efficent hehe), but it works :D big down side is that since i have manually assigned the different stuff i need to have its own canvas for each car XD. right now i have i have a Global controll that has 2 bools that gets chekked wich is true in awake: 600SL or HotRod: if(600SL) { 600SL Hud.setActive(True) } etc :D

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@StigDesign oof, that's gonna be a pain in the ass if you add more cars, DM me on discord if you want help fixing it, we can simplify it and make it work for every all your cars

Cool tutorial dude, really trying to understand how to select a song then load that song into the next scene, I think this is going to help

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Really glad to help!

[@VinnyKoder]

hey i am new in this field please help me in game screen how to control and follow car camera ?

[@yugbhagat6531]

yayyyyyyy!!!!

[@dkordy]

This is fantastic, but I have a big problem that I can't solve, can I get a little help? Since my player was followed by a camera, I attached a script to follow the player's transform. and now after player selection, the camera continues to follow the character's model holder as the clone walks off into the distance. I can't figure out how to redirect the camera to follow the player clone through code?

[@mileman5072]

@Pandemonium thx for the vid mate, what would be the easiest way to reseet all the playerdata?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

You can delete the save file by using File.Delete() make sure to use the same path and name that we used for creating the save file for this.

[@yugbhagat6531]

hey, we need more tutorials!!

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Yeah 😁 working on episode 3 of the platformer series but I'm also moving to a new place now so my January is kind of a clusterf*ck. Starting from next week you're gonna get weekly videos.

[@user-wj1sp7yv3v]

Who can help? I have a problem that when I load the car onto the stage with the car, everything seems to work, but the problem is that I have control of the car on my phone and canvas scripts in it, when I load it in the car, all the scripts disappear! what can you do?

[@nerdherd179]

i'm copy your code but why in savemanager.cs is error ? how to fixed that problem ?

[@erdemakar]

Great tutorial! I have a question, what if we have a save file but then we update the script and add new variables in it. Our save file does not have these new variables, can it cause issues in the future updates of the game?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Good question, depends on the type of variable. If it's a type that can't be null like an int, bool, float etc then no, it's gonna work fine but have the default value (0, false etc). If it's a type that can be null like an array you need to add a safeguard in the Load() method. For example: if(playerAbilities == null) playerAbilities = new bool[6]; Check out the tutorial that is premiering in 2 hours, I have something like that there.

[@erdemakar]

@@PandemoniumGameDev Thank you so much it will definitely helps me, can't wait to watch it! :)

how to make multiple save slots?

[@maxk0655]

Hi at first awesome tutorial. But I have a question how can I make my camera follow the car. This is my curent script: using UnityEngine; public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour { public Transform target; public Vector3 offset; private void FixedUpdate() { transform.position = target.position + offset; } } It has worked before but not know. I can't ad the car to the camera. Could you please respond.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

this is weird, the code is correct. What exactly is happening when you drag the car into the camera?

[@maxk0655]

@@PandemoniumGameDev sorry for not answering. Me Pc broke down so I had to build a new one and that used up a lot of my time. What's happening is, that instead of following the car it opens its prefab.

[@maxk0655]

Would it be a possibility, that I just write currentCar instead of target.position so, that the camera will allways follow the choson Car?

[@DieserDeutscheTyp]

Good day, nice tutroail. But ill have an question i only pogram for a few weeks, and i develope a game for android and my question is when i want to update my game is the data that i saved whit this Methode saved or override at updates?(Because i must export the Gam efrom my Pc when i want to update the game).

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

The save file is unique for each device. The save file from your PC will not affect the save file from your Android.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

If you add new variables to your save system on your PC they will simply be 0 or null on your Android the first time unt you update them on that device as well.

[@DieserDeutscheTyp]

@@PandemoniumGameDev Ok, thank you. Is it possible to try if it work on mobile?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@DieserDeutscheTyp it works for sure on mobile. What I mean is that you can't edit the save file from your phone in your computer, they are independent

[@DieserDeutscheTyp]

@@PandemoniumGameDev Ok, excuse the many questions. However, I would have two final questions. Is it possible to somehow set a starting value of an int? Can I create a function that resets all values when clicked?

[@h4babi]

I was wondering if it was also possible to save 2d integer arrays? EDIT: This works! However, I had to make a slight change as it threw some error I replaced: FileStream file = File.Open(Application.persistentDataPath + "/gamesave.dat", FileMode.OpenOrCreate) Playerdata_Storage data = (Playerdata_Storage)bf.Deserialize(file); SavedGrid = data.SavedGrid; doGenerate = data.doGenerate; With: using (FileStream file = File.Open(Application.persistentDataPath + "/gamesave.dat", FileMode.OpenOrCreate)) { Playerdata_Storage data = (Playerdata_Storage)bf.Deserialize(file); SavedGrid = data.SavedGrid; doGenerate = data.doGenerate;

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

to be honest, I didn't try but theoretically it should be possible, all these integers can easily be converted into binary

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

try it out and save a simple 2D array and let me know

[@h4babi]

@@PandemoniumGameDev I'm not at the point in my game where I'll be doing that (I still have a few more features to implement), but I will definitely try then.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@h4babi interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@dkordy]

Yes, good tutorial, but PLEASE explain. when we select a car and click on the selected one and switch to another scene, how can the camera continue to follow the driver (car) and not just see it

please answer,explain?PLEASE, NO ONE explaying that on whole you tube. or i cant find answer

Amazing tutorial. I also have a save system playlist series. It covers from player-pref to Firebase. I am currently editing the video with NodeJS as the back-end server for saving data. Any feedback on it will be really helpful.

Can this .dat file be saved also in cloud?

[@marcdanielmercado6186]

Or do the google play service, have the same concept as this? Thanks

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@marcdanielmercado6186 google play services might have some functionality for saving but it's certainly not a text file like this. About cloud really not sure, you probably can but I don't know how to do it right now. Maybe in the future.
