I'm looking for a way to push save load data to Google Cloud...

[thecurrent20]

• Hi, sorry but I can't find a way to save/load dictionary with player data or push saved_game_files to Google Play Cloud and load it.

• I'm using the traditional Godot way to save load locally and am finding a way to push it to Cloud so people who come back to the game can continue where they left off and sync between multiple devices.
  I could only see code to save snapshot of save but not game data/dictionary/file.

• Because my newbie self don't quite understand the instruction written, I think I missed something in the documentation. I'd be very happy if you point me that something that I missed. Thank you.

Hi @thecurrent20 thanks for reaching out! I won't be in front of a computer until the weekend so I can't check, but I understand that you should parse and unparse the dictionary from and to an array of bytes. I don't remember if there's a built-in way of doing so, if not, you could convert the dictionary to a String and the string to an array of bytes with the to_utf8_buffer method. Then you should do the opposite, but transforming the string to a dictionary can be quite cumbersome.

I'd say transforming the dictionary to a JSON first would be the way to go. Let me know if this helps you, otherwise I'll try to provide a proper example once I'm back home.
