I guess you are talking about the BGE.

You need to place the “data to be saved” in the global dict via a custom Python controller. Be aware you need to use a marshallable data type such as string, int, float, boolean, list, dict. The content of the containers are restricted the same way.

example:


import bge

storage = bge.logic.globalDict

...

def storeHealth():
   owner = getOwner()
   healthValue = owner["health"]
   storage["player's health"] = healthValue

def restoreHealth()
    healthValue = storage["player's health"]
    owner = getOwner()
    owner["health"] = storage["player's health"]

def getOwner():
     return bge.logic.getCurrentController().owner

The final implementation depends on what storage structure you want to use.
E.g. Top level = save point, 2nd level = object name, 3rd level = object elements


{
    "savepoint 1": {
        "player" : {
            "position": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
            "properties": {
                "health": 98.3,
                "armory": 7.5
            }
        },
        "merchant alpha": {
            "position": [130.2, 78.3, 2.8],
            "properties": {
                "gold": 133
            }
        }
    }
}

As you see this can become quite complex. So you should think about before hand.
