I’ve addressed this in another topic but a TL;DR, it will need to be an entirely new mechanic, and depending on your usage of it, you it may be laborious.

[Part 8] MaxHealth increases from heart shards not saved

You can check if the method in point [2] is sufficient.

I would like to ask for HashSet I need to write like this HashSet<string>(), right?

Can I know what these mean? Preparation:

1. Tags: Create a “Pickup” and “Chest” tag and set them on the related gameobjects.

2. A way to call GameManager’s TriggerChestInteract() or TriggerPickupInteract(). This will primarily be from scripts, you can add a line into, let’s say, orbShard or heartShard scripts that when picked up, they call the GameManager and give the gameobject’s name. For instance: GameManager.Instance.TriggerPickupInteract(gameObject.name).

3. Create a null object and set the pickupmanager script onto it.

Like “Pickup” and “Chest” are the same or they are different things, Because I have orbs to pickup yes, but don’t have chest to open and get it

Yes, when creating a hashset variable, you should type it out as HashSet<string> name, without the regular brackets.

As for when actually making the HashSet, use HashSet().

---

1. Tags

On every game object in the inspector, you can see an option on the top left. Most things will have it say “Untagged”. This is where you set a tag, for this step, you should create 2 tags which you can get to by selecting the “Untagged” box and picking the last option.

In this case, chest and pickup are 2 different things, but they are also only examples. Meaning, you dont need both. just have the tag that you need for your game.

---

2. Calling GameManager

This step simply means that if you want the code in GameManager.cs to function, you first need to call it like any method. So for the purpose of the mechanic, you should put it in your pickups or chests gameobject scripts.

In those scripts, call the method created from GameManager.Instance.

---

3. Null / Empty GameObject

Right click your scene or hierarchy, then select null object/create new game object.

Add the new pickupmanager.cs script created in the post to this new gameobject.

From here, my help will not be as clear since this is an untested code / chatgpt code.

First let’s check if the code is working properly by setting up some print/debug.logs.

PickupManager.cs

    public void LoadAndDeactivateInteractedObjects()
    {
        HashSet<string> collectedPickups = SaveData.Instance.collectedPickups;

        print("Called");

        // Deactivate pickups that have been collected
        foreach (GameObject pickup in GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Pickup"))
        {
            string pickupID = pickup.name; // Assuming the name of the object is its ID

            print(pickupID);

            if (collectedPickups.Contains(pickupID))
            {
                print("found");
                pickup.SetActive(false); // Deactivate the pickup
                print("deactivated");
            }
        }
    }
