Save/Restore keyvalues

[goddzillajk]

Hi there,
i have a question, is there a way to save/restore a keyvalue within a utlvector via the hl2 save/restore method? If yes, how should i do this?

thx in advance

convert the vector to a key value tree then save it. and when reading in the keyvalue convert it strait to a vector.

hmm thx, but i meant something like this:

i have a utlvector:

CUtlVector<KeyValues *> vKeyValueData;

and then something like this:

BEGIN_DATADESC( CHL2Player )
...
DEFINE_UTLVECTOR( vKeyValueData, FIELD_STRING ),
...
END_DATADESC()

Why u have a vector of key values? That is a really ineffecent way of storing information.

Key values are used to parse information from script files which is human readable and thus makes it very slow to deal with. Make a new class to store the info you want from it then if needed make a vector array from that.
