Thought I’d ask here as I need help asap, I’m looking to generate unique ID’s for each instance of actors so I am able to save picked up objects. It is going to be used to save what items have been picked up, so I can save/load them, so it cannot EVER change, not when compiled, not when the project …

[image] KMzuru: get object name You specifically need the object PATH. The name is merely the final part of the path, and they may coincide. The path is unique to each object. The actor’s path also includes the name of the level to which it belongs. And that is exactly what is inside an ob…

you dont need the string at all, save the GUID, when the construction script runs check if the guid is valid, if so do nothing

[image] Reliable Identification of Actors on Level Instances for Save System Programming & Scripting I think you need to consider a system that assigns GUIDs at runtime (It seems there is no other way to solve the problems of level instances). And then - ALL y…

However, if possible, it is better to avoid using GUIDs in favor of saving and loading object references. Standard serialization allows for the correct reconstruction of all dependencies between objects.

Yeah makes sense lol, I just want to save multiple separate actors using the same array. I think I’ll be able to make a workaround if I get a unique identifier for each object per-steaming level and then just add the name of the currently streamed level (already saved in the player) onto that, so I…

Thanks, very helpful, is there any documentation for how it works when packaged for shipping? more specifically if C:\Users\(name) will be included in the path or not. (and yes I’m aware of the object reference, and it would be better, it’s just much more convenient for my purposes to make it non-a…

[image] KMzuru: C:\Users\(name No, the path looks like this: /Game/MapsFolder/LevelName.LevelName:PersistentLevel.Actor_0 Game - this is your project’s content folder. [image] KMzuru: (and yes I’m aware of the object reference, and it would be better, it’s just much more convenient f…
