when to save an attribute?

as7494

when should an attribute be saved? Should it be saved as often as possible, or does it automatically get saved when the application quits? Also can multiple instances of the same attribute be saved to the same key?

If you don't save, your attribute will be reseted if you restart the app.
You have to save your attribute when you need to do it... Same for load, depend on your app.

I don't think that you can do multiple instances

so if i save to a key 123, i wont be able to save the same attribute to the same key?

Did you mean you won't be able to save a different attribute with the same key? If so, then no, you need a different key for each attribute.

Best to use Save attribute just before going into the next scene.

same attribute to same key...
lets say if i have an attribute in 2 different scenes can i save them to the same key?
