SaveForReroll and LoadForReroll

[Cliffford W.]

For some unknown reason the code i used doesnt even work at all

local function RollSave(inst)
	local data =
	{

		livesleft = inst.numDeaths
	}
	return next(data) ~= nil and data or nil
end




local function RollLoad(inst, data)
	print("LOADING FOR REROLL")
	if data.livesleft ~= nil then
		inst.numDeaths = data.livesleft
	end
end

	--this is put in master_postinit of a character prefab
	inst.SaveForReroll = RollSave
	inst.LoadForReroll = RollLoad

You should use inst.Save and inst.Load, unless you called inst.SaveForReroll somewhere else?

inst.SaveForReroll is used for when you switch characters or when seamlessplayerswapper takes place (Wonkey)

Wait, does this mean I could theoretically implement a mod where every 10 days your character changes randomly?

Basically yea

I think it works. I do it by wrapping inst.xxx after spawning in prefabpostinit, it works for reroll.

Figured it out with help of DiogoW

So, what's the problem with the code above? Could you please provide some details about the right one?
