Lighting-System-2D VS SNAP

I took a look and didn't see the documentation, thus I suggest you check out Bulb as it has a lot more activity and documentation. If you really want to use Jobo's look at the repository at https://github.com/borup3/Lighting-System-2D, download the zip and open it up in GM

I bought this too but ended up going with https://github.com/borup3/Lighting-System-2D

Thank you! I'd suggest giving the lighting system mentioned in the video a try, it's pretty well documented and easy to set up. (It also exists in the yoyo-marketplace)

That parsee is out of date, use this https://github.com/JujuAdams/SNAP/blob/master/scripts/SnapBufferReadCSV/SnapBufferReadCSV.gml

There's no convenient in-built way for GM to perform a "deep copy" on a set of arrays/structs (which is bonkers to me but here we are) so I made a script that'll do the job for you: https://github.com/JujuAdams/SNAP/blob/master/scripts/snap_deep_copy/snap_deep_copy.gml

Finally, does my JSON encoder work for your savedata? If so, it'd be useful to add this as debug output for your users so that you can see what the savedata is when the system fails (though no guarantees that my code doesn't also have issues - please use try...catch and save the crash data in the event of an exception)

Use structs to save and contain all the game data. Then when you save and load convert that struct into a json using this https://github.com/JujuAdams/SNAP

You can look into using the library, SNAP to import the JSON into your game. It's super easy to use.
