Briefly describe the issue you're experiencing:
When trying to figure out if the save_data(data, filename, *password) would prevent me from deleting the file or uploaded the file without using the password.
When I saved the save_data.json file with a password when reloading the file, it did not prompt a requirement to load the data, still it was possible to delete the file using a script, and when trying to open the save_data.json in VS Code, it was not eligible.
However, when trying to use this process with a save_data.json without a password, the json.file could be loaded and read in VS Code with no issues.
The test was to save a data_file as a json.file without the password, then read it using VScode, and then saving one with a password to see if it matter when you loaded or try to read it in VScode.
Are there any errors in the in-game debug console or external console window?
External console prints this:
ERROR: Script inherits from native type 'Reference', so it can't be instanced in object of type: 'Node2D'
At: modules\gdscript\gdscript.cpp:329
Provide the steps necessary to reproduce the issue:
@ @ @ @
1) Create a script that will save an save_data.json task to be triggered once a new game is activated, this way the script can save the data, with a password requirement, in a Json format.
2) Start a new game and allow the script to run for couple seconds or mins, then quit the game.
3) Using VS Code, try to read the save_data.json file.
4) Now activate the game and continue, once you’re in the game, reload your save_data.json file.
5) Open Console to check for errors and then record any errors.
6) Repeat step 2 to 5 with a script that can save the JSON file without the password requirement.
7) Document any changes or errors between the two processes.
