Basics of How it Works

Tree:

World
|_Place (only one main Place scene instanced at a time)
  |_TileMap
  |_Camera
  |_YSort
  | |_Player
  | |_NPCs, Monsters, TalkableItems, Background objects
  | |_ ...
  |_EnterPos
  |_|_Position2D (points of entry to the place)
  |_|_...
  |_Teleport (areas of exit from the place to a new place)
  |_...

UI.tscn with save menu and HP, EXP bars are autoloaded.

Game data and globals saved in GameSrc/GameHandlers.tscn.

Player stats (health, inventory) saved in autoloaded PlayerStats.gd.

To save something's data, add them to the save group, and add save and load functions to save their data to a save_game.data dictionary with their own unique key. You can specify how the game handles saving an object with these functions. Game saving handled by GDQuest's GameSaver system.

Based on:

• Heartbeast's action RPG tutorial
• GDQuest's Open RPG
