Change Switches/Self Switches/Variables to Global Save Data

[MeowFace]

Made for a request here.

This script changes the default game Switches/Self Switches/Variables into global save at the developer's choice.

Allowing them to be shared across the game saved files/new game.

Features:

[1] Able to change default Switches/Variables/Self Switches into global shared data

[2] Auto update global data when players save their game

[3] Global data is shared among all loaded game/new game

[4] Able to choose which set of data to be changed into global save data

[5] Able to set the name of the save file

How to Use:

[1] Paste this below Material and above all your custom scripts in the script editor.

[2] Use this script call to force save the global data only.

force_global_saveCompatibility:

This script overwrites the save/load method of the default engine.

It might conflicts with custom scripts that overwrite the save/load method.

Try place this script above all your custom scripts to avoid problems.

Note that Save files made before installing this script will not be usable after the installation.

Any changes made to the script after installation will require a new set of save files after that too.

Terms of Use:

Free for both commercial and non-commercial

Due to V3 to V4 migration, the codes in the top post is being messed up.


Here's the alternative version of the code until the webstaff can fix the top post.
