generic directory user locations

Hey,

I need to find c:/SOMEUSER/SOMEFOLDER

Is there a generic way to locate SOMEFOLDER that will work regardless of username?

Thanks

Kal.

 

I would hope for unitys sake that unity doesn't have access to files like that?
could you not create this folder in the directory the game files are stored in?

 

Nothing mallicious at all, most games save data to c:/USERNAME/documents/GAMENAME - thats why i need to direct to that location regardless of username

 

you could try loading "./somefolder"
the . is cli for "my current directory"

 

Check out Application.persistentDataPath for a safe (cross-platform) location to store save files.

I know a lot of games use C:/USERNAME/documents/ but I think a lot of users would prefer not having their documents folder cluttered

 

Yeah i know about persistantdatapath, but i need the other functionallity thanks tho

Windows uses something like "%userprofile%\documents" - not sure it will work with unity tho, will try when im back at work Thanks all

 

In that case you can try using

System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE")

or if you're using C# 4.0 you can also use

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile)

.

Not sure if this works for platforms other than Windows though!

 

I will defo try that out, thanks Stillwater!
