Save precisous 5 minutes of coding with this braindead easy save system

Easy save system

SaveManager is a pre-coded saving system that is just a singleton providing useful signals and methods to save and load your games, or any data in general

Capable os multi-saves

Since the save manager is just a reference to a file, you can name the file whatever you want to create multiple saves

Docs

The save manager provides the following variables that can be customizable to your hearts content

@export var save_path_prefix: String = "user://"
@export var game_save_name: String = "game_save"
@export var save_format: String = ".dat"

# If you want to edit them in a more human way, just go to the singleton scene at addons/save_manager_gd/save_manager/save_manager.tscn
# There you will find this variables as exported variables

To save a game just simply call SaveManager.save_game(), and for loading games use SaveManager.load_game()

SaveManager.save_game()
SaveManager.load_game()

# Both of them use the parameterized variables to perfom the serialization actions, you can see more of that in the MultiSaving Example

To make your life easier, the SaveManager emits 3 important signals whenever any action took place there

signal game_loaded
signal game_saved
signal save_warned # Emmited when code tried to save on an existing save game, you can use it to display a message for the player asking if they want to override it

Save Overriding

By default, the SaveManager will never override any save, if you want to override a save you must set the argument override_save = true

var should_override_save: bool = true # or false
SaveManager.save_game(should_override_save)

Installation
