Reply To: Runtime blackboard serialization suggestion / reference lookup

[Gavalakis]

Hey! 🙂

Yes, indeed the Blackboard internally holds a List for the references.
I of course could add an overload to Serialize/Deserialize. Do you essentially mean something like this? :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

public string Serialize(List<UnityEngine.Object> references){ var json = JSONSerializer.Serialize(typeof(BlackboardSource), _blackboard, false, _objectReferences); references = _objectReferences.ToList(); return json; }   public bool Deserialize(string json, List<UnityEngine.Object> references, bool removeNonExisting = true){ _objectReferences = references.ToList(); return Deserialize(json, removeNonExisting); }

Alternatively, I could just add a public property to get/set the references list like so, even though I also think it makes sense to be part of the Serialize/Deserialize methods since that is what the list is used for 🙂

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

public List<UnityEngine.Object> serializedObjectReferences { get {return _objectReferences;} set {_objectReferences = value;} }

Let me know what you think!
Thanks.
