Need help saving non-binary objects to disc at runtime

So, I'm dynamically generating items on mob kill.

Works great in Play Mode because I have access to AssetDatabase and Resources.Load.

How would I save things, (like materials) do disc during run time to accomplish this?

Thanks!

 

This is called serialization and is a fairly complex topic, especially when it comes to saving and loading game data. Here's a primer: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/serialization-and-game-data

Be prepared for a lot of work to custom tailor a solution for your game.
