Well my quick attempt was a failure

Maybe somebody else can give it a go

This is just off the top of my head:

attributes:
score
1stplace
2ndplace
3rdplace
4thplace
5thplace

after your game ends load all of the saved high scores into the place holders.

if score > 1stplace
change attribute 5thplace = 4thplace
change attribute 4thplace = 3rdplace
change attribute 3rdplace = 2ndplace
change attribute 2ndplace = 1stplace
change attribute 1stplace = score

if score > 2ndplace
change attribute 5thplace = 4thplace
change attribute 4thplace = 3rdplace
change attribute 3rdplace = 2ndplace
change attribute 2ndplace = score

if score > 3rdplace
change attribute 5thplace = 4thplace
change attribute 4thplace = 3rdplace
change attribute 3rdplace = score

if score > 4thplace
change attribute 5thplace = 4thplace
change attribute 4thplace = score

if score > 5thplace
change attribute 5thplace = score

then save all the scores into memory. this should work right?

That's how I went about it but couldn't get the scores to display properly to see if it was working.

Mulcahy I recently updated my game on GS with High Scores and I did exactly as you wrote except that instead of "if score > 1stplace" I used the "≥" symbol.

I'll try to post an example.

Here's a template for you:

As it is now every score has to have its actor since I don't know if and how you could insert a return in the expression editor (I even tried using a text attribute with a return inside with no luck).

Hope it helps

Im having a little problem...

my scores on a game are saving, but when i exit the game to home screen and come back to it, the score didn't really save, at least not the highest score in the way that i wanted.

It's not 100% relevant to this subject, but I thought this would be the best place to put this anyway as it might help!

Be careful when using keys for saving as it's case sensitive.

So let's say you're saving the attribute 'score' with the key 'Score'

If you try and load key 'score' for the attribute 'score' it won't load.

You would have to load the key 'Score' for the attribute 'score'.

Make sense?

An addition to the Wiki perhaps?

Hope that helps,

i dont get the key what does it stand for and why does it matter
Sorry

CodeMonkey

So with the load and save attribute behaviors, you need a combination of an attribute and a key. The attribute is selected from the attribute browser and the key is just about anything you want it to be as far as text goes. So you can call it 'bob', or 'save', you can call it 'latefordinner'. As long as you use that same text value in both the save and load attributes then you can get and retrieve data from a persistent source.

How do we test to see if saving is working? Say we play the game through the viewer, make progress and save then exit the viewer. If we re-open the viewer and select recently played and open the game, will progress be saved?

CodeMonkey

It should work that way for testing.

I have a game where the current score is placed on the top right, and the high score is in the top center, when the player dies, I have a rule that resets the game and it goes back to the title screen

Does resetting the game reset the high score, or should I be able to see the high score when I restart the 1st level again?

I want to be able to have a game over display, then go back to the title screen, then save the high score at the top center of the screen.

How can I do this?
