I have a long list that I want to save. I could do it the long way, but can I just takethe whole variable and dump it into a storage file?
Yeah, that should work, but whether it’s feasible depends on what you need the variables/list for. Do you have all the stuff in the list as single variables in-game? You can dump all of them together into a big storage entry, but you’ll probably need the advanced xml plugin to then dissect that entry into your separated variables again, once you load it. Might be easier to store each variable separately instead.
Storing large entries should not be that much of a problem, like there are no limits to what an xml node can contain as far as I’m aware…
