Get a Hard-drive accurate listing of Save Game Objects!
Dear Community,
I’ve released a new node that gives you a hard-drive accurate listing of save game files that you’ve created!
I am referring to UE4’s Save system!
You can now access a full listing in a developer build or in a packaged game, to know the save files that have been saved!
These save files are stored in GameDir/Saved/SaveGames
**Use Case: UMG Menu of Save Games**
The best use case of new BP node is to enable you to supply the end-user with a hard-drive accurate listing of save game files currently residing in your game's saved/savegame directory!
Now you can enable users to "see" the contents of the device's harddrive through UMG!
UE4 Blueprint Save System?
If you did not know, you can use UE4’s save system like :
- Create a new blueprint based on SaveGame
- Add your variables to the blueprint that you want to save the values of
- in level BP or some other blueprint, create a save game , and set the values of that
- Save to a Save Game Slot, as shown in my pictures
- You can load a save game from a Slot name at any!
6.** Now with my new Victory BP Library, you can obtain a full listing of existing save games as stored on your computer’s hard disk! **
let’s you know whether a file exists before you try to load it! You can also find out how many save files exist from within BP!
