Persist Scenes using storestates/restorestates in a string

[rossko57]

Note, I know nothing about this storeStates thingy, relying on searches

There’s one obvious pitfall -

@Walduino

var Map SceneState = SceneString1.state

Even for a String type Item, a state object is state object.
You stored a string there and so should properly recover a string -

var Map SceneState = SceneString1.state.toString

Don’t think that will fix anything though !

I know you declare a Map type there, but DSL is loosely typed.
I think SceneState will become a simple string variable.
Have to try harder to construct a Map.
It should at least be var Map<Item,state> SceneState
but from what I read there is a trap about keyword Item

This looks really relevant here, both how to construct the Map and hint about populating it -

storeStates and restoreStates - Map<Item,State> can't declare variable of this type in DSL

Thanks @rlkoshak but it doesn’t work: Using a variable of type Map<Object, State> as the argument for restoreStates() yields the type mismatch error below: Type mismatch: cannot convert from Map<Object, State> to Map<Item, State> I came up with the following ugly workround - val Map<GenericItem, State> statesGeneric = callScript("myScriptName") as Map<GenericItem, State> val states = storeStates() states.putAll(statesGeneric) restoreStates(states) This is both ugly and still causes a valida…

I think in the end you may need to build code that parses the string and puts the data in the Map one by one?
