[PLUGIN] Savior

[podkova.covenant]

I just installed the latest version of Savior from the Marketplace. I wanted to start with simple transform saving to restore actors positions. Sadly, I can’t get it to work. The actors are not spawned dynamically, they are placed on the level in the editor - so I guess it should work out of the box, but it doesn’t.

At first I thought I was missing something but then I downloaded the test project (Savior_3.2.0_Demo_UE4.26), ran it in UE 4.26.1 and observed the same behavior - the mannequins don’t have their positions restored after load. (HP and other stats are restored though).

I tried the other test project (Savior_3.0.0_Demo_UE4.25) on UE 4.25.4 - with the same result. Additionally there’s also a compilation error in one of the BPs.

The last thing I tried was running the 4.26 test project on another machine. The result was similar to what I described above, so it’s not a matter of my configuration.

Can anyone confirm this? Bruno, do you have any ideas what’s going on here?

OK, so I missed that the SGUID property is now obligatory for all actors which need to be saved. After adding the property I was able to save/load in my project. Bruno, thank you for your quick replies via PM!

That being said, the demo level doesn’t present the same behavior as shown in the official youtube video. For example, the balls on Level 1 have their positions restored on the video and that’s not the case in the actual demo level. It may be confusing for newcomers.

Also I’d love to see some form of basic documentation extracted from this thread. There is a lot of useful info scattered across 49 pages and it would be awesome to make it more accessible.
