I’ve created a Save Game blueprint in the Content Browser and added a vector variable (Player Position) - it will store player location:
I am going to save my game by right clicking the mouse and load it with a space bar. This script is the player blueprint.
Saving with right click:
- when the player clicks, we check if the save game object already exists; if it does not, we create one
- we also reference it using a variable (you can right click Return Value and Promote to Variable)
- we then access the Player Position variable in the save game object and set its value to the player’s current location
- we then save the game to hard drive and print a message
Loading:
- when space bar is pressed, we check if there is a save game with the name we want to load
- if there is, we load it
- we need to ensure it’s of the same type as the save games we are using; we cast and store the object’s reference in a variable
- we then read the player position and set the player’s location to its value
- we print a confirmation
See if this helps, and if you have any questions, do ask!
