Question by AUsername64 · Aug 03, 2021 at 11:56 PM · savesave datathiskeyword

I can't save because of the this keyword

Essentially I followed a Brackeys tutorial in order to create my save data script.

 public void SaveState()
     {
 
         SaveSystem.SaveGameData(this);
     }

It works great, but only with buttons. For example if I want to use another script to save the game on start it won't work.

 SettingAndValue.SaveState();

Normally I would get around this by making it a public static void, but the "This" keyword is preventing me from doing that. I read a bunch of stuff talking about "Form 1" but I have no idea what the heck that is and nothing explained it properly, and besides I don't really care much anyway.

IDEALLY I would want to replace the "this" keyword with something else, but I don't know what is supposed to go there, it isn't the class name so then what is it?

Just add a parameter to your script:

 public void SaveState([Whatever type is your "this" class ScriptableObject etc.] param)
      {
  
          SaveSystem.SaveGameData(param);
      }

So when you call this method somewhere out of your script just pass the parameter.

Thanks for the reply, but how do I know what the Type of "this" is? Also you used brackets in your answer, do I need to use brackets for something?
