Saving a scene within the game?

Question

Hi,

I'm nearing completion of my project now, and have begun work on a map creation tool. It's a fairly simple one at it's core, it allows you to place pre-made prefabs on a grid, to create a map.

However, I now want to be able to save the maps I create in the map creator. i want to save them as an entire scene, but without the Map creation object that was used to make it.

Is there some unity reference for saving to a scene file, and similarly can I do somehting along the lines of:

Unity.BeforeSaveScene () { destroy (Map creation unit); }

Unit.SaveScene;

You can't save scenes but you can have saves of custom maps using file IO in the same exact scene every time. A example would be:

1.On save map store the prefabs Vector, and names in a file. 2.On map load read the file and instantiate prefabs accordingly.

The save file could look like this:

//Prefab Vector3, name, and Rotation 0,0,1 "crate" 0,90,10 1,0,1 "ladder" 0,50,0 0,2,1 "wall" 50,20,0 7,0,1 "building" 0,10,0
