Hi! Awesome lib!
I have a question. Please help :)

Do I have to add a second argument every time when I want to load a safe file object like this?
Settings settings = PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Settings>("settings", new Settings());
Or do I add this "new Settings()" argument only when initializing this object in PlayerPrefsExtra memory?
And then, do I need to add the Generic brackets when i SetObject? Cause in your readme.md you didn't.

In my project I initialized an object Settings() in Start() method and created a method update a specific field of that class, this field is a class as well. But this method doesnt change the value for some reason.

Other methods did change the values but this doesn't. Could it be because the other methods updated simple Integers and the new one operates with complex objects field? Here's 3 methods I used.

//////////////////////// FIRST 2 DO WORK
    public static void ToggleSpwnBlcVal(int val) {
        Settings settings = PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Settings>("settings", new Settings());
        if (settings.newBlocksValue.Contains(val)) settings.newBlocksValue.Remove(val);
        else settings.newBlocksValue.Add(val);
        PlayerPrefsExtra.SetObject("settings", settings);
        UpdateOptionsUI(settings);
    }
    public static void SetSpwnAmmount(int val) {
        Settings settings = PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Settings>("settings", new Settings());
        settings.spwnAmmount = val;
        PlayerPrefsExtra.SetObject("settings", settings);
        UpdateOptionsUI(settings);
    }

///////////////////// THIS ONE DOESNT WORK
    public void setTheme(string mystringname) {
        Settings settings = PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Settings>("settings", new Settings());
        settings.theme = Themes.list.Find(x => x.name == "cacao");
        PlayerPrefsExtra.SetObject("settings", settings);
        // Camera.main.backgroundColor = settings.theme.bodyBg;
    }

Theme() is a struct and looks like this:

    public struct Theme
    {
        public string name;
        public ButtonsPalette btns;
        public BlocksPalette blcks;
        public Color32 bodyBg;
        public Color32 statsBg;
        public Color32 statsTxt;
        public Color32 titles;
    }

Hi first: the second argument "new Settings()" is the default value in case there is nothing saved in playerPrefs you can use your default settings object instead of new Settings() the second thing I guess when you deal with complex object you need to save both classes or structs (I will give you an example:) class Point { public float x; public float y; } class Line { public Point pt1; public Point pt2; } suppose we have an object of type Line Line line = new Line(); Point a = new Point(); Point b = new Point(); line.pt1=a ; line.pt2=b; // save : PlayerPrefsExtra.SetObject("_line",line); PlayerPrefsExtra.SetObject("_a",a); PlayerPrefsExtra.SetObject("_b",b); //load : line=PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Line>("_line",line); a=PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Point>("_a",a); b=PlayerPrefsExtra.GetObject<Point>("_b",b); line.pt1=a; line.pt2=b;

I saw your answer too late, and have already found one workaround. Because Themes() class that I created is static and is only used to store a static List, I just changed Settings().theme field type to string and get theme data by name directly from Themes.list:

Color32 buttonColor = Themes.list.Find(theme => theme.name == settings.theme).buttons.menuButtonColor;
Thank you for your fast reply though! Next time I will definitely do it the way you suggest. Appreciate your work, have a good life!

I guess that its working with complex objects too because it's already tested Vectors inside a custom object and it works . Vector is a complex too
