How to keep track of home runs

LordTarantor

Hello everybody:
I got a little confused trying to do this save/load attribute.
Let say that I have a baseball game and I want to keep track of how many home runs you make every time you play. Like if you play today and make 3 home runs, tomorrow when you go to play again you will have 3 home runs in your scorecard. I you make 2 home runs, you will have 5 and so on.

Every time you make a home run, you'd change an integer attribute (let's call it 'home run') to home run+1

Then beneath this 'change attribute' behaviour put in a save behaviour:

Save attribute Home Run - Key: home run stats

Then on your splash or intro scene, have a load behaviour:

Load key: home run stats - Attribute: home run

Then, on your stats screen (where you'll display the total or home runs) just use a display behaviour and press the 'e' key next to the text box. Choose the attribute 'home run'.

That will do it, hope that helps!

Whenever you score a home run, add a Save Attribute behavior, like this:

Change Attribute: game.totalHomeRuns To: game.totalHomeRuns + 1
Save Attribute: game.totalHomeRuns to key: TOTALHOMERUNS

(I make the key identical to the attribute I'm saving, just in all caps to avoid confusion)

That will save the attribute.

To load it next time you play, put a load behavior in the game, preferably in the very first Scene. i.e. your logo screen, main menu, etc.

Load Attribute: game.totalHomeRuns from key: TOTALHOMERUNS

Loading and Saving only work on the device. Not in the Creator or on the web.

EDIT: Dang! QS beat me to it!
