Modding:TreeAttribute
From Vintage Story Wiki
TreeAttribute
Tree attribute is a nested data structure.
TreeAttribute can hold generic data for most primitives, such as int, string, float, etc. This data can be stored and accessed using a key or index.
It is also possible to serialize data and store it as a byte array. See data serialization.
For documentation, see TreeAttribute and ITreeAttribute.
To use TreeAttribute, add the using statement for Vintagestory.API.Datastructures.
Use in API
Within the API, TreeAttribute is often employed to store persistent entity data, and to access data extracted from JSON files.
TreeAttribute is often supplied as the interface ITreeAttribute.
Example in code
using Vintagestory.API.Datastructures;
class Example
{
Example()
{
// Setting and getting values
TreeAttribute tree;
tree = new TreeAttribute();
float someValue = 0.35f;
string someKey = "valueKey";
// Set the value
tree.SetFloat(someKey, someValue);
// Retrieve the value
tree.GetFloat(someKey);
}
