Unigine::Config Class

Header: #include <UnigineConfig.h>

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:

AppSystemLogic.h

Source code (C++)
#ifndef __APP_SYSTEM_LOGIC_H__
#define __APP_SYSTEM_LOGIC_H__

#include <UnigineLogic.h>

class AppSystemLogic : public Unigine::SystemLogic
{
public:
	AppSystemLogic();
	~AppSystemLogic() override;

	int init() override;

	int update() override;
	int postUpdate() override;

	int shutdown() override;

private:
	Unigine::String player_avatar;
	bool skip_cutscenes;
	bool blood_enabled;
	int bulletshell_lifetime;
};

#endif // __APP_SYSTEM_LOGIC_H__

AppSystemLogic.cpp

Source code (C++)
#include "AppSystemLogic.h"
#include <UnigineConfig.h>

using namespace Unigine;

/*...*/

int AppSystemLogic::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);

	return 1;
}

int AppSystemLogic::shutdown() {

	// automatically save the configuration file at shutdown
	Config::setAutosave(true);

	// write the custom settings to the configuration file
	Config::setString("player_avatar", player_avatar.get());
	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::setPath("configs/my.config");
	Config::save();

	return 1;
}
