    Hello! How do i save data? I dont really understand the limited documentation
    Following the "how to" in the docs gives me this issue with the CloudSaveService

    Code (CSharp):
    1. The type or namespace name 'CloudSave' does not exist in the namespace 'Unity.Services' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

    Hi Durium, have you installed the Cloud Save package via the Package Manager, as outlined here? Errors like this usually occur when the package has not been imported.

    Hi Mid_plays,

    Have a look at the documentation for some example usage https://docs.unity.com/cloud-save/en/manual/cloud-save-usage#Save_an_item.

    If you look at the "fetch item" section, you will notice that there is a variable called savedData. Access the previously saved boolean value by using the "key" to get the value like so
    Code (CSharp):
    1. savedData["key"]

    What I mean is like how do I use an of statement when I get the value like let's say I have a bool and when it's true I want the player to be able to jump twice as high as he normally does like if(SavedData["Key"].value == true ){ increase jumpCapacity();} something like that

    Hi Mid_plays,

    Did you get it working? Using `SavedData["Key"].value == true` looks like it should work just fine if the value stored in the SavedData object is a boolean. This would not work if the value is actually a string value like "true".
