Save score bug?

ktfright

I'm really close to submitting my game Shoot Shoota, but when i try to save the highest score when a user beats their previous score, it is not the same number that was supposed to be saved, it is a lower number. is it me, or is there a bug in the system?.

I'm still racking my head as to why it is doing that. any tips?

i haven't noticed a bug yet... and i'm loading in and saving 180 or so Attributes...

What is your high score logic?

Saving:
Score > Bestscore,

Change attribute Bestscore to Score

Loading:
load keyword 'score' to best score attribute

play my game shoot shoota, and you could see what i mean. when i die and its game over, i have another actor that displays the score, but when i go to the menu to see my best score, the numbers are not correct at all.

Kt, I had the same problem, try using "constrain" attribute instead of "Change attribute" and it should fix the problem

So if score > high score

Constrain High score to score

@FMB. Is the logic Kt is using the same you use?

cool, ill try that!

Yes, I think so.

Just to be clear:

game.currentScore
game.bestScore

When Game is Over
When game.currentScore > game.bestScore
Change Attribute game.bestScore To: game.currentScore
Save Attribute: game.bestScore Key: BESTSCORE

When loading
Load Attribute game.bestScore key: BESTSCORE
Load Attribute game.currentScore key: CURRENTSCORE

If you are constantly showing the high score during game play or on a menu that you can go to during game play, you would use Constrain Attribute like butterbean said.
