Solved Converting config in dictionary?

Code:

Dictionary<string, int> Awards = new Dictionary<string, int>();//LoadDefaultConfig()
Config["Awards"] = new Dictionary<string, int> {
{ "rifle.ak", 1 },
{ "rocket.launcher", 1 },
{ "metal.refined", 500 }
};//Loaded()
// does not help
foreach (var element in Config["Awards"] as Dictionary<object, object>)
 Awards.Add(element.Key.ToString(), Convert.ToInt32(element.Value));// does not help
foreach (var element in Config["Awards"] as Dictionary<string, int>)
 Awards.Add(element.Key, element.Value));

 

IMHO use Config.WriteObject and Config.ReadObject

You can just make your own class with dictionaries, custom classes and just about anything and dump/read it with these. Look at Cornucopia for an example of this. That's how I do all my configs now, no more converting involved, just load and save and use it like nothing happened.

 

You can leave the key as which it actually is but you need to set object as value.
Thats how I'd do it:

Code:

Config["Dictionary"] = new Dictionary<string, int>
{
    {"one", 1},
    {"two", 2},
    {"three", 3},
    {"four", 4},
    {"five", 5}
};Dictionary<string, object> dic = Config["Dictionary"] as Dictionary<string, object>;foreach (string key in dic.Keys)
{
    Puts(key + ": " + Convert.ToInt32(dic[key]));
}

 

Thank you very much!
I did, and I really like it ,it's a great experience for me.

 

There are limits though! Several object structures have issues serializing with this. DateTime is an example, it won't serialize as-is so I convert it to a long when I need to serialize these. Same with Vectors and several others. I read about a work around somewhere on here this week though.

 

Pretty much any MonoBehaviour
