Question
I’m trying to add saving/loading of settings to my game (based off of a tutorial by DashNothing), but it always throws up the error Invalid access to property or key ‘[thesetting]’ on a base object of type ‘Dictionary’ when i try to load the scene.
I tried this again on other settings besides audio and I noticed the error only affects every value after the first one for some reason? here is the code for both loading it and the settings saving system if helpful:
@onready var musicslider = $musicslider
@onready var soundslider = $soundslider
@onready var voiceslider = $voiceslider
@onready var ambienceslider = $ambienceslider
@onready var outputmenu = $outputmenu
@onready var speakermenu = $speakermenu
func _ready():
masterslider.grab_focus()
SettingsConfig.load_audio_settings()
var audio_settings = SettingsConfig.load_audio_settings()
masterslider.value = min(audio_settings.mastervolume, 1.0) * 100
musicslider.value = min(audio_settings.musicvolume, 1.0) * 100
soundslider.value = min(audio_settings.sfxvolume, 1.0) * 100
voiceslider.value = min(audio_settings.voicesvolume, 1.0) * 100
ambienceslider.value = min(audio_settings.ambientvolume, 1.0) * 100
outputmenu.selected = audio_settings.outputdevice
speakermenu.selected = audio_settings.speakermode
