Deserializes an instance from a file
Syntax
1
instance_deserialize(file_name, explicit_deserialize_map=noone)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| file_name | string | The name of a file containing a previously serialized instance. |
| explicit_deserialize_map | real (optional) | A ds_map that maps variable names to functions that will deserialize values from the file. |
Returns: Real (instance id)
Description
This function will take file that contains a JSON data structure, convert it into a ds_map, then convert that map into an instance. This function will only work with instances serialized with instance_serialize . If you’ve created a custom serialize function, you must also create a custom deserialize function to match it.
