Hyper Global Save System v4

Keep a game world consistent when players save, travel and return. Hyper Global Save System combines a C++ serialization plugin with Blueprint integration for player state, world actors, streaming levels and save-slot management.

Key Features

Slots and save flow

• Save groups: organize different player or character groups with manual and automatic saves.
• Autosaves: configure save intervals and gameplay triggers.
• Named slots: let the player choose and load a save slot.
• Map transitions: carry the selected save context into the destination level.

World and actor state

• Placed and spawned actors: save level actors and actors created during play.
• Component data: include saveable components with their owning actor.
• Destroyed level actors: remember which map-placed actors were removed so they do not simply return on load.
• Streaming and World Partition: save streamed-world state through the supporting project.
• Custom state: connect inventory, equipment, PCG and other state through the save interfaces and supplied logic.

Plugin and integration project

This listing contains the required C++ plugin. The integration project is a separate, free download linked above. Its Blueprints provide the UI, save logic, teleport support, inventory/equipment integration and World Partition integration. Enable the plugin in that project to use the complete save workflow.

Integration model

Add the saveable actor and component interfaces to the relevant world objects, then implement their save/load behavior. Players follow the separate GameMode player-loading path. Load-state checks prevent fresh-spawn initialization from overwriting restored data.

Restore the state your game actually uses

• Nested property handling: the plugin can flag child properties inside complex structures and serialize flagged values to byte arrays, including data that is difficult to mark manually.
• Restore before initialization: the deferred actor-spawn flow applies saved properties before construction and Begin Play finish, so the actor can initialize around the restored state.
• Custom attachment restoration: On Save and On Load hooks let equipment and attached state effects serialize their own data and rebuild the correct attachment after loading.
• Individual player saves: save a selected player through the dedicated player-saving flow when a full world save is unnecessary.
• Server-owned world state: the server controls world and player saving in co-op. The player-loading flow restores the joining player through the GameMode.
• Practical save utilities: manage slot metadata, retrieve current or recent saves, and use an overlap-save trigger for a configured checkpoint.
