Unigine.Config Class
The Config class is used to read values (settings) from the application configuration file (configs/default.config by default) and write them back to it.
Use the appropriate methods depending on the type of the target item. For example, to get the values of the following items, you should use the getInt() and getString() methods respectively:
Source code (XML)
...
<item name="show_fps" type="int">1</item>
<item name="system_script" type="string">unigine_project/unigine.usc</item>
...Usage Example#
By using the Config class, you can save custom settings to the configuration file and then restore it when required. For example:
ConfigClass.cs
Source code (C#)
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unigine;
[Component(PropertyGuid = "AUTOGENERATED_GUID")] // <-- this line is generated automatically for a new component
public class ConfigClass : Component
{
private string player_avatar;
private bool skip_cutscenes;
private bool blood_enabled;
private int bulletshell_lifetime;
private void Init()
{
// read custom user-defined settings from the configuration file
player_avatar = Config.GetString("player_avatar", "soldier1");
skip_cutscenes = Config.GetBool("skip_cutscenes", false);
blood_enabled = Config.GetBool("blood_enabled", false);
bulletshell_lifetime = Config.GetInt("bulletshell_lifetime", 100);
}
private void Shutdown()
{
// automatically save the configuration file at shutdown
Config.Autosave = true;
// write the custom settings to the configuration file
Config.SetString("player_avatar", player_avatar);
Config.SetBool("skip_cutscenes", skip_cutscenes);
Config.SetBool("blood_enabled", blood_enabled);
Config.SetInt("bulletshell_lifetime", bulletshell_lifetime);
// save data to the custom configuration file, which is different from the default one
Config.Path = "configs/my.config";
Config.Save();
}
