Saverestore

From GMod Wiki

This module is to help bind the engine's saverestore stuff to Lua. This is so we can save Lua stuff in the save game file. The entities should automatically save most of their table contents to the save file.

You can hook into this system like so:

 
	local function MySaveFunction( save )
		saverestore.WriteTable( my_table, save )
	end
 
	local function MyRestoreFunction( restore )
		my_table = saverestore.ReadTable( restore )
	end
 
	saverestore.AddSaveHook( "HookNameHere", MySaveFunction )
	saverestore.AddRestoreHook( "HookNameHere", MyRestoreFunction )
 

This will then save/load everything in my_table when the game is saved/loaded.
