Complex Types

Complex Types are any types that are not base types or collection types.

SUCC will save all the members of a complex type that meet the following criteria:

• the member is a field or property
• the member is not static
• the member can be both read and written to
• the member is public or has SUCC.DoSaveAttribute defined - see Custom Complex Type Rules
• the member does not have SUCC.DontSaveAttribute defined - see Custom Complex Type Rules
• the member is not an indexer

These members will be saved as child key nodes in the SUCC file, using the name of the member for the key.

Example

using System.Collections.Generic;
using SUCC;

class NPC
{
    public string name;
    public string profession;
    public int health;
}

static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var characters = new List<NPC>()
        {
            new NPC()
            {
                name = "Garret",
                profession = "Builder",
                health = 100
            },
            new NPC()
            {
                name = "Kevin",
                profession = "Bear",
                health = 100
            },
        };

        var file = new DataFile("test");
        file.Set("characters", characters);
    }
}

characters:
    -

        profession: Builder
        health: 100
