Data (class)

This class is a successor of UserData. It now uses strings for both keys and values. You can set your own section-name and save location. You can also make it "saveslot"-local, which means that the data is not shared between different save slots.

Data class
Type	Function/Field	Return values/Value type	Description
Enum	Data.DATA_LEVEL	---	Data location: This data will be saved in the level custom folder and can be only accessed by the current level.

Enum	Data.DATA_GLOBAL	---	Data location: This data will be saved in the {SMBX-Path}/worlds folder and can be accessed from every world or level.
Constructor	myData = Data(Data.DATA_##### dataLocation)	Data	Constructs a new Data class with the save location specified with dataLocation. It will use "default" as section name and use the save slot, if dataLocation is Data.DATA_GLOBAL.
Constructor	myData = Data(Data.DATA_##### dataLocation, boolean useSaveSlot)	Data	Constructs a new Data class with the save location specified with dataLocation. It will use "default" as section name. If useSaveSlot is true, then the save slot will be used.
Constructor	myData = Data(Data.DATA_##### dataLocation, string sectionName)	Data	Constructs a new Data class with the save location specified with dataLocation. It will use sectionName as section name and use the save slot, if dataLocation is Data.DATA_GLOBAL.
Constructor	myData = Data(Data.DATA_##### dataLocation, string sectionName, boolean useSaveSlot)	Data	Constructs a new Data class with the save location specified with dataLocation. It will use sectionName as section name and use the save slot, if useSaveSlot is true.
function	Data:set(string key, string value)	nil	Sets a value in the Data class. Use the tostring() function if you want to save a number.
function	Data:get(string key)	string	Returns the value of the key. If the key is not not set, then an empty string will be returned. Use the tonumber() function to convert a string into a number.
function	Data:get()	Table with [key] = value	Returns a table with a copy of the content. The key is the table-index while the value is the table-value. Use the tonumber() function to convert a string into a number.
function	Data:save()	nil	Saves the data.
function	Data:save(string sectionName)	nil	Saves the data and sets a new section Name.
Field	Data.dataType	Data.DATA_#####	The save location of the data.
Field	Data.sectionName	string	The section name of the data.
