When saving my level data I am currently saving an array of tiles. The tile class looks like the following:
public class Tile3D
{
public Barrier[] barriers;
public Vector3 position;
public float size;
public Tile3D_Type type;
public Tile3D()
{
barriers = new Barrier[6];
}
}
The problem arises when I come to serialize/deserialize the barrier class. The barrier can be created from a quadrangle as follows:
public class Barrier : IOctree_Object, IGUI_Object
{
RigidBody3D body;
Quadrangle quadrangle;
Vector3 scale;
List<CD_Triangle> triangles;
public Barrier(Quadrangle quad)
{
quadrangle = quad;
Vector3 s = new Vector3();
s.X = quadrangle.Width;
s.Y = quadrangle.Height;
s.Z = 0;
scale = s;
triangles = new List<CD_Triangle>(quadrangle.Triangles);
body = new RigidBody3D(quadrangle.Position, RigidBody3D_Type.Static);
body.Shapes.AddRange(quadrangle.Triangles);
Game1.Instance.physics3D.AddBody(this);
}
The quadrangle class serializes with no problems but because the Barrier class requires a Quadrangle to be created properly, it can't be deserialized due to it not having a parameterless constructor.
How can I serialize/deserialize the barrier class correctly knowing that I must have a parameterless constructor, and that I can create the barrier from a quadrangle?
