High score set up...

nikstaa

Hey guys,

I need to set up scoring in my game, which would include remembering a high score

The high score scene is triggered by a timer, which when it counts down to 0 it changes scenes to the high score scene.

Need help, this has been troubling me for ages...

Make a variable for the high score, and make a variable for ingame score. At the end of the level, do a comparison. If ingame score > high score, then make highscore = ingame score. Then use the Save action to save it to a variable so that it saves. Do a timer for a few seconds, then do change scene action to go to high score.

Each time you start the game, like at your title screen or something else at the beginning, do a load action to assign the saved variable to high score.

Thanks, but it's still not working.

i have two texts one saying 'best score' and the other saying 'score'. the best score should show up with the best score but it shows the score you just recently played and the one that says score doesn't even show anything except for 0.

Thanks NiK

The current score...It's saying 0 all the time? Are you throwing scores into it? And this is a game-level variable?

what exactly do you mean by game-level variable ... sorry for asking but i m new.

by the way i m playing the game to get scores.

Hi, there's a series of excellent tutorial videos on the gamesalad cookbook which explain all you need to know about creating and saving high scores.
I've just been through these for my game and they helped loads
Here's the first:

PLEASE PEOPLE HELP ME...I M REALLY STUCK

hotMagic

By game-level variable, I meant it doesnt belong to an object. That way it will persist across levels. What are you stuck on now?
