Overwrite file opened with FileAccess

Question

Hey I’m trying to ovewrite an already created save file. But changes are not saved when using store_line. The first save (when the file doesn’t exist) the data is stored correctly. dataToSave is a JSON variable.

func save_game(fileNumber):
	var savegame = FileAccess.open("user://savegame_" + str(fileNumber) +".save", FileAccess.WRITE_READ)
	var dataToSave = saveData()
	var json_string = JSON.stringify(dataToSave)
	savegame.store_line(json_string)

when i see save and load issues, i always recommend to just use plugin GitHub - AdamKormos/SaveMadeEasy: An easy to use, versatile Save/Load System for Godot 4 inspired by the simplicity of Unity's PlayerPrefs. Supports nested variables, Resources, Arrays and encryption.

the implementation

File.open(path, FileAccess.WRITE) is not truncating

i have created a simple slime game to demonstrate how to use the Save plugin, tho only 1 level but expandable. here’s the code with SaveSystem implemented: on main_script.gd: extends Node2D @onready var save_slime_button:Button=$SaveSlimeButton const A_SLIME=preload("res://slime.tscn") var slime_node_ref:Array=[] var is_spawning:bool=false var current_level_id:int=1 func _ready(): print(SaveSystem.current_state_dictionary) randomize() spawn_slimes() func spawn_slimes(): if is_spawni…

you can also learn what did you miss on saving or loading user data from this plugin save_system.gd
but why not just use it?

I’m having issue while using this plugin like my save file won’t get loaded, is there any tutorial video I can watch?
Thank you in advance

did you SaveSystem.save() after SaveSystem.set_var("test",10)?
