Best way to save data
Hello, I've been wondering... What's the best way to save data in games? Maybe with JSONs? If so, how do I use it. The only way I ever saved data was making many .txt files and each of them store data then for example, let's say I wanted to save the variable "currentWood". I would write to a text file the "currentWood.ToString();", I would load it by reading from the text file and converting the string to an int. But it was way too many since I was making a survival game and I had to make a text file for each variable. (example: currentWood, currentAxe, currentStone, currentMeat, etc). So... what's the best way to save data?
I can suggest taking a look at my free SerializeHelper asset that is aimed at $$anonymous$$ching the basics of data saving & loading.
this is completely builtin to unity and very easy to use

1000s of QA on here about it, enjoy
Thanks! Will this work with all types of variables? Vector3's to save position and floats, ints etc?
click and read doco, cheers.
open google type "unity3d save Vector3 PlayerPrefs"
