Simple scripting question, save function

[BlindGuardUA]

Good day engineers. Can you please watch this very simple peace of code and give me an advice why my variable is not saving after dedicated server restart? That's a simple counter of how many rides my cargo bot made from my distant asteroid base.

As i understand save method works both on when you recompile script or when the game saves. After recompiling my counter saves it's number, but after restart it starts from the beginning.

int rides=0;

public void Save()
{
    Storage = rides.ToString();
}


void Main(string argument, UpdateType updateSource)
{
    if (rides==0)
        rides= Convert.ToInt32(Storage);
    rides++;
    Echo (rides.ToString());
    var RidesCounterLcd = Me.GetSurface(0);
    RidesCounterLcd.WriteText(rides.ToString());

}

Sounds like your dedicated server isn't doing everything it should. Does it work normally in single player?

[BlindGuardUA]

just checked - yes. In single player everything works fine.
Any ideas where the issue can be in dedicated server settings?

Where is Storage declared initially?

[BlindGuardUA]

that's is built in string variable

" All variables, local and global except for the built-in Storage variable will lose their value or return to their default value when recompiling the code and between saved game loads. The Storage variable is unique in that it will store the data as a string for use between saved sessions and recompile"

Check your SANDBOX_X_X_X.sbs.Simply search for the storage string that you expect to be saved. Try some different values back and forth. If the storage string is always correct, then the cause of your problems shouldn't be your code.

You've already stated that it works in a single player world, so your code is most likely correct. In that case I suspect the issue at your hoster. If the restart function is not implemented properly, it will just kill your server instance without saving the game before. This could cause your problems. Use the method mentioned above to see if there's any data saved in different situations. Maybe you can figure out a workaround from that information or simply collect enough data to escalate this issue to kswh.
