Are you storing the entire node using store_var? I think what you may want to do is store the node data (maybe in a dictionary?) and then have the persistent node either reset itself by reading the values, or have the persistent nodes delete themselves and make new nodes using the save data as their initial values.

Yes, I was used to loading and saving as it says in the docs, now there is something that I am not doing well and I do not get the point. For example with the autosave, if the data is empty it crashes when I tell it store_var () Other times it stores the data encrypted but also unencrypted ... I have a hell of a mess i keep fighting

lol i create a savegame test i stored a test dictionary with store_var() credits = 50

in the file looks something like this

then i edited the FILE in the notepad \ credits 150

and i open the game and load the savegame

the player has 2000000 credits

ive done with this, looking for other ways

Does it really matter if people cheat?

yes bro, we have to protect the world order https://docs.huihoo.com/godotengine/godot-docs/godot/tutorials/engine/encrypting_save_games.html

i just use the simple way written there and everything is working again, and 'protected', it just took me half an hour rewrite all the codes.

I agree with what the article says. When I have used cheats in a game I have ended up losing interest in it. Not always, but most of them. That's why I never use cheats.

The world is full of hateful cheaters. Not in my game.

And as Sid says, we have to protect the players from themselves.

Huh, that’s interesting! I’ve always seen the data like it is in the screenshot, but I guess notepad can translate the binary. In that case, you made need to look at encryption using the Crypto class or a different method for securing the data.

Edit: by in the screenshot, I mean with the null data blocks and all that. I don’t think it showed the variable name or value.

I shouldn't, right? I don't know how I did it, really. Maybe that file was already contaminated from so many tests, or i didnt code the well the thing. in any case trying to save my game with store_var has been pure hell.

I have too many persistent nodes in different scenes. In this case saving and reading in the files by the documentation way with a password is just what I needed.
