Great video. Question: What if we wish to save/load dynamically created and destroyed objects? The way I see it currently the foreach only identifies currently existing saveable entities. If I later create or destroy an object/prefab I’m assuming that it won’t be found with the FindObjectsofType?

Would a way around this be to perhaps store an array of objects each containing a prefab ID/string, and then re-create all the prefabs on load and initialize/modify them with their saved data?

Have you used dictionaries before?

That could work but is a little fragile if you change up your prefabs in any way. The links from the save file would all be broken even if you changed the links in your scenes/other prefabs.

My preferred way at the moment is to make the spawner responsible for storing the data about what it spawned. Then it can respawn objects when needed.
