[HELP]How to keep some extra properties for a mod character swapping from WONKEY?

[yanecc]

Now there are several specific properties for the character.

inst.level = data.level or 0
inst.skillpoints = data.skillpoints or 0

How could I restore them after swapping from Wonkey?
I've tried setting inst.SaveForReroll and inst.LoadForReroll in the character prefab, but nothing seemed to be preserved.

Use AddPrefabPostInit, do not add it in prefab.masterfn.

If you only want these properties to be saved after swapping from Wonkey, you should put them into a component and add TransferComponent method to it.

-- components/extra_properties.lua
function ExtraProperties:TransferComponent(newinst)
  local newcmp = newinst.components.extra_properties
  if newcmp then
    newcmp.level = self.level
    newcmp.skillpoints = self.skillpoints
  end
end

-- modmain.lua
if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then
  AddPrefabPostInit(YourCharacter, function(inst)
    inst:AddComponent("extra_properties")
  end)
  AddPrefabPostInit("wonkey", function(inst)
    inst:AddComponent("extra_properties")
  end)
end

Oh, I have found it feasible to use SaveForReroll and LoadForReroll to store these variables, as long as they are added through AddPrefabPostInit. The LoadForReroll of other characters has not been changed, so it only works for the transformation process of monkey.
