player.Magic = input.Magic;
player.Name = input.Name;
player.NoOfAttacks = input.NoOfAttacks;
player.Occupation = input.Occupation;
player.Position = input.Position;
player.Speed = input.Speed;
player.Strength = input.Strength;
player.Weapon = input.Weapon;
player.Inventory = new List<InventoryItem>();
foreach (var item in input.Inventory)
{
player.Inventory.Add(
(InventoryItem)Resources.Load("Inventory Items/" +
item));
}
return player;
}
This is pretty much the same in reverse, except for the inventory. We cannot simply create
a new inventory item because each
InventoryItem
is a
ScriptableObject
that
we created in our game in the editor.
So to give the player the correct
InventoryItems
from our game's library, we call
Resources.Load
to pull the item from our game project, passing the path to
In-
ventoryItem
and its name (which we saved earlier). Then, we add them to the player's
inventory.
Hopefully, you can see why I stuck with the previous model to give you a more in-depth
look at how to manage
ScriptableObjects
with serialization.
