Changing Mover.cs using Brian's Json Save System to take Multiple Parameters

#1

If you haven’t been using the binary formatter and instead opted to use the Json save system that Brian provided here: Home · Wiki · Brian K. Trotter / RPGMods · GitLab, then you should be able to change the class as follows:

        public JToken CaptureAsJToken()
        {
            Dictionary<string, JToken> data = new Dictionary<string, JToken>();
            data["position"] = transform.position.ToToken();
            data["rotation"] = transform.eulerAngles.ToToken();

            JToken returnToken = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
            return returnToken;
        }

        public void RestoreFromJToken(JToken state)
        {
            if (navMeshAgent == null)
            {
                navMeshAgent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
            }

            JObject jsonObject = JObject.Parse(state.ToString());
            Dictionary<string, JToken> myDictionary = jsonObject.ToObject<Dictionary<string, JToken>>();

            navMeshAgent.enabled = false;
            transform.position = myDictionary["position"].ToVector3();
            transform.eulerAngles = myDictionary["rotation"].ToVector3();
            navMeshAgent.enabled = true;
            GetComponent<ActionScheduler>().CancelCurrentAction();
            
        }

Just as a note, I had to reset the navMeshAgent here as I got null reference errors occasionally.

This seemed to work for me. I hope it is correct and helps someone else out if they need it.

Below is the change for the STRUCT type… I separated the 3 save/restore ways into different methods, which is why. Each one is called from the standard save / restore methods, and is just a call to the correct method


        public JToken CaptureAsJToken()
        {
            //return SaveNormal();
            // return SaveAsDictionary();
            return SaveAsStruct();
            
        }

        public void RestoreFromJToken(JToken state)
        {
            // RestoreNormal(state);
            // RestoreFromDictionary(state);
            RestoreFromStruct(state);
        }
...
...
...
...

// Below is how to save / restore data using multiple fields using a struct
        [System.Serializable]
        private struct MoverSaveData
        {
            public JToken position;
            public JToken rotation;
        }

        private JToken SaveAsStruct()
        {
            MoverSaveData data  = new MoverSaveData();
            data.position = this.transform.position.ToToken();
            data.rotation = this.transform.eulerAngles.ToToken();

            JToken returnToken = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);

            return returnToken;
        }

        private void RestoreFromStruct(object state)
        {
            JObject jsonObject = JObject.Parse(state.ToString());
            MoverSaveData data = jsonObject.ToObject<MoverSaveData>();

            navMeshAgent.enabled = false;
            this.transform.position = data.position.ToVector3();
            this.transform.eulerAngles = data.rotation.ToVector3();
            navMeshAgent.enabled = true;
            GetComponent<ActionScheduler>().CancelCurrentAction();
        }
