[Solved] How to save value for mod structure

[. . .]

Hello, I need some help with this I got no idea what to do .

So, thanks to help of Aquaterion my custom structure now has an action to swap one of its parts, now what I want to do is make game save the part it's swapped to then when player logs out of world they don't have to change it back every single time to what they want .

Here's all the code of my stucture so far.

canvas.lua

local assets =
{
	Asset("ANIM", "anim/canvas.zip"),
	Asset("ANIM", "anim/canvas_art_1.zip"),
}

local prefabs = 
{
}

SetSharedLootTable('canvas',
{
    {'boards',		1.00},
    {'papyrus',		1.00},
})

local function onbuilt(inst)
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
	inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/sign_craft")
end

local function onhit(inst, worker)
    if not inst:HasTag("burnt") then
        inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("hit")
        inst.AnimState:PushAnimation("idle", false)
    end
end

local function onhammered(inst, worker)
	if inst.components.burnable ~= nil and inst.components.burnable:IsBurning() then
		inst.components.burnable:Extinguish()
	end
    inst.components.lootdropper:DropLoot()
	local fx = SpawnPrefab("collapse_small")
    fx.Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
    fx:SetMaterial("wood")
    inst:Remove()
end

--local function OnSave(inst, data)  
--end

--local function OnLoad(inst, data)
--end

local function fn()
    local inst = CreateEntity()

	end

	inst:AddComponent("hauntable")
	inst.components.hauntable:SetHauntValue(TUNING.HAUNT_TINY)

	--inst.OnLoad = OnLoad

Basically what I want is when the action is modmain.lua is called I want value "act.target.painting0 = value" to be saved than in a OnLoad function I can put code to make the thing have the correct part, the only problem is I don't know how to do any of this so I'm kinda stuck, so it'd really be great if someone can tell me how I can save those values with OnSave & OnLoad !!! Thanks so much for your time, have a great day/night !!!!!

if you just want to save painting0 then you should be able to

function Paintable:OnSave()
    return 
	{
		painting0 = self.inst.painting0 or nil
	}
end

function Paintable:Load(data)
    self.inst.painting0 = data.painting0 or nil
end

but i'm not sure why you have this variable on your object, and if you're going to have it on your object, then why not save it on the object directly?

I am supposed to put this in paintable.lua right? I did and unfortunately nothing happened.

I don't know how to save it on my object, I know nothing about OnSave OnLoad.

The reason I have this variable is because I want use it for switching my art of my canvas because it's only way I know how, for example.

if act.target.painting0 == nil then
	act.target.painting0 = true
	act.target.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("art", "canvas_art_1", "art")
elseif act.target.painting0 == true then
	act.target.painting1 = true
	act.target.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("art", "canvas_art_2", "art")
elseif act.target.painting1 == true then
	act.target.painting2 = true
	act.target.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("art", "canvas_art_3", "art")
elseif act.target.painting2 == true then
	act.target.painting3 = true
	act.target.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("art", "canvas_art_4", "art")
	ect...
end

 

And so I want to save the value then if there's like 20 arts I don't want every time player have to preform action so many times if the art takes lots of action to get too

bump, how save the inst.art = 1 on the structure

Edited January 9, 2018 by SuperDavid

[Aquaterion]

inst.OnSave = function() data.art = inst.art end

inst.OnLoad = function(inst, data) if data ~= nil and data.art then inst.art = data.art end end

Wow, so simple yet im dumb couldnt figure it out thanks a lot dude !

@Aquaterion can the same thing be used for all prefabs? like characters too not just structures?
