Question about saving attributes per level

EatingMyHat

Hi,

a few simple questions on saving and loading attributes:
1. can you save multiple attributes to the same key (like a score table)
2. Can the key be dynamically generated (e.g. "level"..self.id.."Score")

In short, I want a high score for each level and want to avoid multiple nested Rules. Any easy way to do it?

Thanks,
GR.

You cant as yet use word strings to build up the attribute like you mention. And I dont know of a way of saving more than one attribute in a key. This is where Arrays would be great.

It will have to be something like: (thinking as I type)...

Make an attribute for each level score...game.level_1_score

Name the scenes correctly, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Create a prototype actor (So it can be easily amended for the whole game), which can be in every scene, called something like THE SAVING ACTOR

Have attributes...game.new_score, game.level_completed

Rule:
If this level is completed = 1

....
If scene_name = 1
....
Change att game.level_1_score to game.new_score
Timer after 0.1 Change att game.new_score to 0 ...(resetting score ready for next level).
Save attribute...game.level_1_score

....
If scene_name = 2
....
Change att game.level_2_score to game.new_score
Timer after 0.1 Change att game.new_score to 0 ...(resetting score ready for next level).
Save attribute...game.level_2_score

....
If scene_name = 3
....
Change att game.level_3_score to game.new_score
Timer after 0.1 Change att game.new_score to 0 ...(resetting score ready for next level).
Save attribute...game.level_3_score

etc etc...

Not ideal, but should work, ,and be easily modified/tweaked even after making lots of levels....
