Question

I need to create a text file for a game designer to edit variables in my C# script. I would like to be able to write the variable in the text file and the designer can put in a value and hten it would change in my script.

However, after much searching I have not been able to find a solution to my problem and was hoping someone with some experience in this method could help me.

I’m using Visual Studio for writing my scripts and the designer would require Notepad.

Thanks,
Chris

Answer 1

You can try using this class that will allow you to use ini files to hold your configuration.

I’m assuming your designer wouldn’t like to use XML (which is the .NETy way of doing things); making humans edit XML is a form of torture anyway.

Here’s the link to the CodeProject page: An INI file handling class using C#.

You can also use some other (relatively simple) format like JSON if ini files are too flat for you.
