Hi ! I am trying to save some data on my game but love.filesystem.write doesn't seem to work at all...

I am doing this

love.filesystem.write('save','anything here')

First I can't even see the LOVE folder in /Application support/ (and I already set an identity in conf.lua)

So I don't understand how I am supposed to write a file and load it?

when I try to load it

Code: Select all

chunk = love.filesystem.load('save.lua')
	 local s = chunk()
	 print(tostring(s))

it says

Code: Select all

Syntax error: save.lua:1: '=' expected near 'here'

But where is my save.lua file if the LOVE folder doesn't exist??

There is something I am missing with this.. if anyone could explain to me I would really appreciate

Thanks!

Ok I managed somehow to make the saving feature works but I still can't see the file in Application Support. I don't know if it's an issue?

Try printing love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory() and see where that is.

You also need to set the identity of your project, so the LOVE/<identity> folder gets created, and your files should be saved there.

Also, you didn't show your save.lua file's contents, so that error message can't really be debugged like this.

LOVE for iOS doesn't expose the save directory to users. You can check whetever the writing successful is by checking the return value of love.filesystem.write().
