[SOLVED] Monitor PlayerPrefs Wrapper?

Hi there,
Is there a way to know, a setting perhaps, a script, that will allow me to know when PlayerPrefs has been called and what command was called?

I think I may be missing a deleteAll(). But I cant find it in my scripts.

Thanks

 

Are you using an IDE? You should be able to search your project for references to PlayerPrefs. If you're using Visual Studio try this:

Edit -> Find and Replace -> Find in Files

Then type "PlayerPrefs" and click "Find all". A window will pop up showing all references to PlayerPrefs in your project.

 

Hi Man,
Thanks!
I did not know about this.... however, sadly, there is no DeleteAll()... this is frustrating since when I reboot the game, the data saved is not there.

Errrr

 

Is it possible you have mismatched key strings? For example "PlayerHealth" vs "Playerhealth". That sort of thing?

 

No. Double, Triple Checked.

Thing is, other projects work fine in this regard. Also, I have followed this Brackeys tutorial on how to save and load outside of PlayerPrefs. I have it fully integrated in my system, and it works, as long as I dont quit. If I do, and restart, the data is gone.

So odd!

I have pasted my code, if you understand this, can you see anything I am doing incorrectly?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.IO;
4. using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
5.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
9. public static class ProgressSave
10. {
11.  
12.  
13.  
14.     public static void saveProgress(int level, int world)
15.     {
16.         BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
17.         string path = Application.persistentDataPath + "/progress";
18.  
19.         FileStream stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create);
20.  
21.         ProgressBinary progressBinary = new ProgressBinary(level, world);
22.  
23.         formatter.Serialize(stream, progressBinary);
24.         stream.Close();
25.  
26.  
27.     }
28.  
29.  
30.     public static ProgressBinary getData()
31.     {
32.         Debug.Log("UWLP: SD: PB getData() = ");
33.         string path = Application.persistentDataPath + "/progress";
34.         if (File.Exists(path))
35.         {
36.             Debug.Log("UWLP: SD: PB path exists = ");
37.             BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
38.             FileStream stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open);
39.             ProgressBinary data =  formatter.Deserialize(stream) as ProgressBinary;
40.             Debug.Log("UWLP: SD: PB path data = " + data.ToString());
41.             stream.Close();
42.             return data;
43.  
44.         }
45.         else
46.         {
47.             Debug.LogError("UWLP: SD: PBX: FILE NOUT FOUND");
48.             return null;
49.  
50.         }
51.     }
52.  
53.  
54. }
55.  

 

I see only one issue with the particular code you shared here, which is that you're unsafely using filestreams. You should use a

using

statement to wrap your filesystem usage to make sure the filestream is closed properly even in the case of an exception during writing the file. That being said I don't think that issue would cause what you're seeing.

The problematic code may be outside of the snippet you shared. For example, maybe you're saving the game data at the beginning of the game before loading anything, and therefore overwriting your save with empty data.

 

Thanks, I have got it working... the only thing I can think of, is the I removed the call to save() at OnDestroy(). Perhaps this, caused it to lose its references.


Also, Visual Studio has a Find function for the entire project, that I was unaware of.
Cheers
