Ye olde geeky blog

South Africa is slowly but surely getting on the online shopping bandwagon, and we have a few big online retailers, but the one I'm going to be talking about in this blog post is Takealot. They used to be called take2, but there was some issue with the name so they changed it. They've also absorbed Kalahari a few months ago, so I think it's safe to say they're the biggest online shop in SA. We buy from them often. Especially because they deliver for free if you order over a certain amount, and they have those damn daily deals which are hard to resist.

So, here's a small workaround I discovered. I'm sure it's not the best way to do it, but it works for me. Firstly, create a struct containing the key-value pair variables , and remember to add System.Serializable to allow them to show up in the editor: [System.Serializable] public struct NameOfStruct { public string  string1UniqueKey; pub...
