Overview

It is possible to store custom data for any player across different instances of one custom game. This means, that when payers will disconnect from one game instance (i.e server) and will reconnect to another one, it is possible to store and retrieve data between those game sessions. For example, creator can store record of achievements gained by the player while playing the game.

  • Storage data are always unique to a specific player (similar as entity storage)
  • Storage data can be updated only if owning player is online
