Save/Load Attribute problem

sebmacfly

Hi Gamesaladers!

I'm having troubles saving and loading attributes (i never had problem with that before in my other projects...)

I have 3 attributes saved in my game, my attributes (integer = 1) are ok. If i quit the game and restart it, my attributes = 0.

I'm loading the attributes at the start of my game with a timer :
Timer after 0 seconds, run to completion
Load Attribute........

The Save attribute value is the same in the load attribute...

I don't know what i'm doing wrong!

Any idea please?

thanks

I'm gonna send a email to the support team.

Other people having this problem?

Not 100% sure, but if I'm understanding your post correct, try changing it to 0.5 seconds or 1 second and see if it loads the attribute correctly.

Why use a timer that isn't using time for anything? For example, I can't literally wait 0 seconds and THEN do a task, right?

My timer is working good because i have the change scene behavior in it...
I'm using the timer because in other project, the "change scene" behavior is not working, i had to add the timer to make it work. So, to be sure, i added it in the first scene (title scene)

anyone? Gamesalad?

The "Save" attribute is working good in my project, because when i create a button (when touch is pressed, load attribute) to load the attribute i saved, that work.

When i try to load this same attribute at the start of the game, that doesn't work.

I think that's because i'm loading a lot of attributes (50+)

Any idea on how to optimize that please?

Thanks a lot

The timer is pointless, you dont need it.

I do the same thing without timers and it works perfectly.

sebmacfly

I don't use it anymore and don't work neither

PLEASE Gamesalad team, answer this issue....

Again, loading doesn't work in my case at the beginnin of the first scene, loading after a few secs does work.

Cheers,

Doesn't work Ludwig...

I added a timer on the first scnene, just to see...

1st scene, timer after 4 seconds (run to completion), change scene to nexte scene.
2nd scene, timer after 1 second (run to completion), load attribute (all atrributes); change scene to menu.

Grrrr...

You do know that saved attributes are lost when you stop a game in preview. If you just do a reset they are maintained.

I'm testing on the gamesalad viewer and AdHoc and don't work...

In the viewer i can load some attributes, that's strange...

LumpApps

Not a solution but just to check: try loading them in the second scene.
Let me know what happens if you want to. This is how I found that loading with a timer worked.
Must be a bug.

I tryed in mutliple scenes... noway

I have the same problem. Funny thing is that some attributes do load and some don't. I have checked every ruled every spelling and all is correct any ideas ?

LumpApps

Sorry to hear it didn't work.

So, i'm not the only one...
I emailed the Gamesalad Support Team, but no answer yet.

Same here, some attributes do load and some don't.
I Checked every rule too, no problem.

sebmacfly

I recommand other gamesaladers to test that issue (on all attributes loaded)...

And post here...

sebmacfly

Would be cool if some Gamesalad Dev can answer, thanks

I am having the same problem. I am only loading and saving 1 attribute and whatever I do it will not save my highscore and resets it every time I remove the game from the iphone task list.

I load the attribute TopScore from my splash screen (with or without timer) and I save the game High Score from my Lives actor.

TopScore always go back to "0" when I remove game from memory. Really wish we could get an answer from GS.

sebmacfly

No news from the gamesalad support team yet.... i'm getting mad
I can't finish my project... problems on problems

Ah, thanks Lauren.
It would save (no pun intended) us hours and hours of work if this is posted in time though.
Is it possible to post a simple list of known issues? That would save a lot time in the future.
Thanks again!
