Resource and StreamingAssets both are for read-only purpose

#

There is persistentDataPath for writing, but I don’t think you need to write file at all for your case

fair drum
#

got it, i thought resources could be edited

#

ok

#

persist generates a new file in a different folder right?

stiff dune
#

Yes

#

Do you need to save data for progress?

fair drum
#

yes, because it depends for the match

#

I can't let the player own cards that aren't in their database

#

I think I got it, so I can read the file and create a new file with persist, and modify the rest of my code to fetch the information from this new json, correct?

stiff dune
#

Yes that would be the way
Your original file is design data and the other one is progress/save data

#

If I understand your intention correctly

fair drum
#

I think so

# 
string newDeck = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("Decks/Hell").ToString();

BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
string way = Application.persistentDataPath + "/Hell.json";

FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(way, FileMode.Create);
formatter.Serialize(fileStream, newDeck);
fileStream.Close();```
#

my code for create the new json

#

I will implement to overwrite and change the paths of the rest of the code to see if it works, 1 moment

#

have a problem using File.WriteAllText? ```c++
public void AtualizaJsonDeck(string data){

string path = Application.persistentDataPath + "/Hell.json";

File.WriteAllText(path, data);

Debug.LogFormat ("[EasyDeckEditor] Saved {0} successfully.", pathDeck);
Debug.LogFormat ("[EasyDeckEditor] Data {0}.", data);

}```

But is copying whole card data what you want, or you just need list of cards/changes of user?

#

WriteAllText should be okay to do

fair drum
#

the way I thought of doing it is every time I start the game, delete the file in the persist if it exists and create a new one so that I feed it with the user's cards again

#

keeping it up to date whenever you enter the game

#

bad idea?

stiff dune
#

If you already have up to date information, and if you are not going to read from file, then why do you need save it as file?

#

That what I don’t understand

#

It seems like you already have databse and it is where the data saved

#

Can you think of actual example data for original file and modified file that you would save? 🤔

fair drum
#

Because currently the rendering of the cards on the table depends on Json files, I will implement it to pull directly from the database, but at the moment we are in a hurry to launch a beta

stiff dune
#

That makes more sense now

stiff dune
fair drum
#

nice

#

It's just not executing my login code :/ but the previous error no longer gives

stiff dune
#

Is it problem with saving json?

fair drum
#

I'm not sure, in the editor it still logs normally, but in the build it doesn't do anything and doesn't even accuse an error.

stiff dune
#

No exception is happening too?

#

That is weird

fair drum
#

yes, I disabled the method that makes the update to test

#

same thing, at least I know it's not that, the hard thing now is to find out lol

#

Is there any reason for the script execution to work in the editor but not in the build?

fair drum
# stiff dune No exception is happening too?

I found the problem, it was my stupidity, I switched scenes and forgot to update in the build settings, so in the editor I tested one and in the build I tested another scene 🤦‍♀️

#

thank you very much for your attention and help, here it is solved
