Save File Viewer

PlayMaker → Debug → Save Files

The Save File Viewer lets you inspect the data stored in your PlayMaker save profiles.
Use it to debug variables, verify Auto Save behavior, and confirm your Save/Load logic works as intended.

About Save Files

Note

Save files created in the Unity Editor include extra editor-only fields (such as variable names, FSM names, data types, and display values). These fields make the file easier to understand when debugging.

Save files created in a built player will contain less information but still load correctly.

Viewing Save Files

Select a Profile

Use the Profile dropdown in the toolbar to choose which save profile to view.
Each profile corresponds to one JSON file stored at:

<persistentDataPath>/PlayMaker/Saves

The toolbar provides quick access to:

Open Save Folder
Opens the directory where all PlayMaker save files are stored.
Open Raw JSON
Opens the selected profile’s JSON file directly in your system’s text editor.

Save Data Preview

The preview shows all data saved in the selected profile:

FSM Variables

Displays one entry for each FSM that has saved variables:

FSM Name
GameObject path
Saved variables and their stored values

Global Variables

Shows all saved global variables:

Variable name
Variable type
Saved value

What This Is Useful For

The Save File Viewer is ideal for:

Verifying that Auto Save is saving/loading the expected variables
Debugging Save Mode settings
Checking that multi-profile save systems work correctly
Ensuring that object references (GameObjects, Components) are saved properly
Inspecting test profiles when running automated integration tests
