Question

I am at the end of my game an endlesrunner and did the saving func but it does not work

func _exit_tree():
	_save_game()

func _save_game():
	var save_data = {
		"selected_skin": Global.selected_skin,
		"skin1_owned": Global.skin1_owned,
		"skin2_owned": Global.skin2_owned,
		"skin3_owned": Global.skin3_owned,
	}
	
	var save_file = FileAccess.open("user://save_game.save", FileAccess.WRITE)
	if save_file:
		save_file.store_var(save_data)
		save_file.close()
		print("Game saved successfully.")
	else:
		print("Failed to open file for writing.")

func _load_game():
	if FileAccess.file_exists("user://save_game.save"):
		var save_file = FileAccess.open("user://save_game.save", FileAccess.READ)
		if save_file:
			var save_data = save_file.get_var()
			save_file.close()
			
			Global.selected_skin = save_data.get("selected_skin", "default")
			Global.skin1_owned = save_data.get("skin1_owned", false)
			Global.skin2_owned = save_data.get("skin2_owned", false)
			Global.skin3_owned = save_data.get("skin3_owned", false)
			
			print("Game loaded successfully.")
		else:
			print("Failed to open file for reading.")
	else:
		print("No save game found.")

and im tryin to save the var’s of the autoload Global

var selected_skin: String = "default" 
var skin1_owned: bool = false

print(save_data)

HI! is this the complete script? if it is, you don’t have a proper save_file variable. You are using temporary variables to store data. I will share you how mine is coded:

*extends Node

const PATH = “user://savedata.save”

signal load_finished

var save_data: Dictionary = {
“current_scene” : “res://game_elements/levels/Level_01/level_01_pre_level_story/level_01_pre_level_story.tscn”,
“gravity_strenght” : 0.0,
“jump_strenght” : 0.0,
“health” : 0.0,
“pulse” : false,
“gun” : false,
“jump” : false,
“dash” : false,
“range” : false,
}

func _ready():
load_save_data()

func load_complete():
load_finished.emit()

func load_save_data():
if !FileAccess.file_exists(PATH):
print(“Save file does not exist”)
return
var file = FileAccess.open(PATH,FileAccess.READ)
save_data = file.get_var()
file.close()

func save():
var file = FileAccess.open(PATH,FileAccess.WRITE)
file.store_var(save_data)
file.close()

no _exit_tree doesnt get called when you close the game. You would have to remove the scene from the scene_tree for that to happen

oh then what does ? which func does that ?

Well you can call queue_free(). That deletes a scene.
But maybe you want to use notifications:
