ALimenSaveableHintsManager

Overview

ALimenSaveableHintsManager inherits from ALimenHintsManager and implements the ILimenSaveObjectInterface. It manages the saving and loading of hint classes, ensuring that only relevant hints are persisted between sessions. The manager handles the lifecycle events for data persistence and initializes hints upon loading saved data.

Properties

Type	Name	Access	Description
TArray	SavedHintClasses	SaveGame	Array of soft class paths representing the hint classes to be saved.

Functions

Return Type	Signature	Description
void	BeginPlay()	Initializes the manager and saves hints if game data has not been loaded yet.
bool	ShouldLoadData() const	Always returns true, indicating that data should always be loaded.
void	PreDataSaved()	No-op function.
bool	ShouldSaveData() const	Always returns true, indicating that data should always be saved.
void	PostDataLoaded()	Loads saved hints and sets up stale hint removal.
FName	GetUniqueDeterministicId() const	Returns `NAME_None`, indicating no unique deterministic ID is provided.
void	PostDataSaved()	No-op function.
void	PreDataLoaded()	No-op function.
void	LoadSavedHints()	Loads saved hint classes and initializes hints, setting up a lambda to remove stale hints when dismissed.
void	SaveHints()	Saves the current hint classes by converting them to soft class paths and initializing hints.
void	SetupRemoveStaleHints()	Sets up a lambda to remove stale hints from `SavedHintClasses` when they are dismissed.

Usage & Implementation Notes

The manager ensures that only hints with saved data are initialized, preventing unnecessary initialization of hints that were not previously saved.
The use of soft class paths (FSoftClassPath) allows for the persistence of hint classes without requiring them to be loaded into memory at all times.
The lambda functions added to OnHintDismissed ensure that stale hints are removed from the save data when they are dismissed, maintaining consistency between the saved and active states.
