Store list in an XML list?
I'm trying to build a body parts system for my game, similar to but nowhere near the scope of Dwarf Fortress. I previously built a simple XML list for the items in my game which stored a name, description, and damage dealt, but I don't know how to store System.Collections lists inside an XML list, and how to add elements to it.
For my body parts I'm building a class. (Not my actual code, just pseudo.)
[XmlType("BodyPart")
public class BodyPart()
{
[XmlAttribute("Name")]
public string partName;
[XmlElement("Health")]
public float partHealth;
}
And in my class for the creatures, I plan to have a list like this for every creature.
List<BodyPart> bodyParts;
I understand that I probably need to make the bodyParts list an XmlElement, but how do I reference and add body parts to the list from the Xml file, including filling in those body part's variables (name and health).
