Solved Saving LootContainers to a JSON file?

I am creating a mod called Tyranny. In the mod I am allowing taxation on the players. I wanted to save a crate specified by a player as the "tax box." Is it possible to store a StorageContainer in a json file? Every time I did it I got an error saying there is a self referencing loop in Vector3.

If it isnt possible to save a StorageContainer Object, can someone suggest another means perhaps saving the item?Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated. This is being coded in C#.

 

Code:

DynamicConfigFile data = Interface.GetMod().DataFileSystem.GetDatafile(path);
            data.Settings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;

I added that too my dynamic file and this is still the output I get:

Code:

[Oxide] 10:27 PM [Info] [Tyranny] Tyranny was unsuccessful unloaded/saved: Self referencing loop detected for property 'normalized' with type 'UnityEngine.Vector3'.

[DOUBLEPOST=1447070523,1447050284][/DOUBLEPOST]In the event someone might know whats going on, Ill go ahead and provide my data writing method as well.

Code:

         void WriteKingData(string path)
        {
            DynamicConfigFile data = Interface.GetMod().DataFileSystem.GetDatafile(path);
            data.Settings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;            Dictionary<string, object> profileData = new Dictionary<string, object>();            KingClass kData = King;
            profileData.Add("KingID", kData.ID);
            profileData.Add("KingName", kData.Name);
            profileData.Add("RealmName", kData.Realm);
            profileData.Add("TaxPercent", kData.Tax);
            profileData.Add("TaxBox", kData.TaxBox); // This is what is failing            data["KingData"] = profileData;            Interface.GetMod().DataFileSystem.SaveDatafile(path);
        }

 

Would I just use the that line of code over Interface.GetMod().DataFileSystem.SaveDataFile(path);?
[DOUBLEPOST=1447147356,1447111150][/DOUBLEPOST]I literally spent the entire day trying to do this. I tried changing the entire system to use

Code:

data.ReadObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(profileData);
data.WriteObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(profileData);

I tried modifying my original system and modifying it like

Code:

DynamicConfigFile data =Interface.GetMod().DataFileSystem.GetDatafile(path);
Interface.GetMod().DataFileSystem.SaveDatafile(path);

I can not get a system working that saves StorageContainers. Can someone please help me or perhaps provide some example code? Ive scanned the plugins for rust experimental and I couldn't find one that saves StorageContainers. I am at a total loss, any help would be very much appreciated.

 

I took your advice @Calytic and I got it mostly working.
