Question Call all functions with a specific name

Hello,

Currently trying to make a saving system, needless to say that I am new, tackling the issue one step at a time starting with calling a function without knowing what script it is attached to or what gameobject it is on.

to put it into perspective, let's say I have a QuestTracker script where I keep all the information about the status of the quests, EnemyStats on each enemy with all the info on that particular enemy and a PlayerStats script with all the stats. I want to be able to call a save/load on all of them without having to reference every single one of them or even knowing what gameobject it is. Each one will save/load according to the save/load script it contains.

I hope that made sense, I couldn't find much info on the internet besides that using an interface is an option which was expected. so, I implement an ISaveable interface on them and then what?

thanks a lot.

 

So, if it is a "Computer/XBox/PS" Game, i think even nitendo etc... this approach works like a charm:


- Make an Interface "ISaveable",

implement 2 functions: void Load(Object state), Object Save();

- give that Interface to each class you want to save,
to seperate your entities you will need to have a system (common one is to use unique IDs),
so based on that information you can make a "foreach" loop in your SavingSystem, find all ISaveables,
interate trough and save, for loading the same approach
