Multiple saved variables

[Myrroddin]

Based on the Wiki, most things that have multiple entries in the toc/txt file are space-delineated. If you have more than one SV file, does it follow this pattern, or do you need 2, 3, etc SavedVariables entries?

What do you mean by, "If you have more than one SV file" ?

I mean if you want, say, MyAddOn_SV and MyAddOnDB. One would be general settings, the other could be character specific, with both in the same AddOn. You could do this in WoW, so I'm guessing you can do this in ESO. I just want to know the syntax in the .txt file, whether the two are separated by spaces or commas or listed on two lines.

The other option would be one SV file, where you would have MyAddOnDB.universal_setting.someSetting and MyAddOnDB.character_setting.someSetting.

Think of how AceDB allowed this. You could have MyAddOnDB.profile.someSetting and MyAddOn.Seerah.someSetting.

The second option would be better, but I could work with either. Just wondering how you would set it up.

No need to make multiple saved vars files. Can make separate SV for character specific or for the whole account.

sv.char = sv.char or ZO_SavedVars:New( SvName , version , "main" , defaultChar )
sv.profile = sv.profile or ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide( SvName , version , "main" , defaultAccount )

Ah, thank you. I've been pouring over the Wiki with no luck or love trying to find the following syntax:

* ZO_SavedVars
* EVENT_MANAGER
* CHAT_SYSTEM
* CALLBACK_MANAGER
* others?

If I had found ZO_SavedVars, I might have been able to answer this myself. Where are they documented, if they are?
