I have been working on a save game solution for my project and have hit a wall. After several days of research, trial/ error etc. I decided to give the stack a shot. I am attempting to convert back from a Json text file into an object, then add it to a dictionary. It keeps giving my Invalid cast exceptions, regardless as to how I iterate through the Jdata object. Keeping in mind I am using LitJson 3rd party. Here is the code thus far. The error occurs at the foreach statement.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using LitJson;
 using System.IO;

 public static class SaveGame 


 public static string savePath = Application.persistentDataPath + 
 "/Saves/";
 public static int numberOfSaves = 0;
 public static string saveFileName = PlayerCrew.playerShipName + ".json";

 public static void SavePlayerData ()
 
 string playerSavePath = savePath + saveFileName;
 string jsonHolder;

 jsonHolder = JsonMapper.ToJson(PlayerCrew.playerCrewManifest);

 if (!File.Exists(playerSavePath))
 
 FileStream fs = new FileStream(playerSavePath, 
 FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
 fs.Close();
 File.WriteAllText(playerSavePath, jsonHolder); 

 
 else
 
 File.WriteAllText(playerSavePath, jsonHolder);
 

 

 public static void LoadCrewManifest()
 
 string playerSavePath = savePath + saveFileName;
 string jsonHolder;

 jsonHolder = File.ReadAllText(playerSavePath);
 JsonData jdata = JsonMapper.ToObject(jsonHolder);
 PlayerCrew.playerCrewManifest.Clear();

 foreach (KeyValuePair<string,CrewMember> item in jdata)
 
 PlayerCrew.playerCrewManifest.Add(item.Key, item.Value);
 Debug.Log(item.Key);
 

 





 

I recommend you to use NetJson. You can Deserialize using a generic type, including Dictionary.

The values in jdata might come as KeyValuePair<string, string>

the simplest way would be a simple constructor for your class CrewMember e.g. something like

[Serializable]
public class CrewMember

 public string Name;

 public CrewMember(string name)
 
 Name = name;
 

Than you don't want the item.key since it will be the variable name (in this case Name) instead you want the item.Value.

Your json code could look like

JsonData jdata = JsonMapper.ToObject(jsonHolder);
PlayerCrew.playerCrewManifest.Clear();

foreach (KeyValuePair<string,string> item in jdata)

 PlayerCrew.playerCrewManifest.Add(item.Value, new CrewMember(item.Value));
 Debug.Log(item.Value);
