Hi,

What is the proper way to load into the last saved scene from a main menu button (using autosave)?

If I call this using the main menu "load" button, nothing happens:

Code: Select all

ES3AutoSaveMgr.Current.Load();

So I tried doing this workaround, but it seems a bit buggy:

I'm saving using an on-screen button, which uses ES3's autosave, then saves the current scene manually as "savedScene":

Code: Select all

    public string currentScene;

    public void Save()
    {
        ES3AutoSaveMgr.Current.Save();
        currentScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
        ES3.Save("savedScene", currentScene);
    }

Then on my main menu "load" button I load back into "savedScene":

Code: Select all

    public string sceneToLoad;

    public void Load()
    {
        sceneToLoad = ES3.Load<string>("savedScene");
        SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneToLoad);
    }

Then in my scene I load the ES3 autosave values for player position, etc. on Start:

Code: Select all

    public void Start()
    {
        ES3AutoSaveMgr.Current.Load();
    }

Am I going about this correctly? Or is there an easier, simpler way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi there,

The way you’ve described is the correct way of going about it. Auto Save is for saving and loading Components in a scene, so you need to be in the scene for Auto Save to be able to load.

All the best,
Joel
