Apparently deleting properties is a bad idea, these will continue to persist in a save game and can cause problems, but adding properties, through amending a script on a Base Item, to already loaded or baked in objects has the effect of not filling the properties. this can cause alot of unnecessary stuff placed on the stack and your script will fail to work correctly. if you have alot of properties or those properties are used numerous times in your script, then every time that property shows up it will throw an error causing alot of congestion for the VM. calling other scripts off the base script is one work around. may seem obvious to some, but a bad idea that will only work on new games. | Apparently deleting properties is a bad idea, these will continue to persist in a save game and can cause problems, but adding properties, through amending a script on a Base Item, to already loaded or baked in objects has the effect of not filling the properties. this can cause alot of unnecessary stuff placed on the stack and your script will fail to work correctly. if you have alot of properties or those properties are used numerous times in your script, then every time that property shows up it will throw an error causing alot of congestion for the VM. calling other scripts off the base script is one work around. may seem obvious to some, but a bad idea that will only work on new games. | ||
From my understanding, all properties are baked into the save the moment the game is loaded. ObjectReferences tend to be a bigger issue because the properties pointing at them, will make them persistent. So in practice, one should use ObjectReference properties when absolutely necessary, and never no more than what you need. There's a clearer info on this but the page is inaccessible at the moment. --[[User:Lisselli|Lisselli]] ([[User talk:Lisselli|talk]]) | |||
