Star system error in coding
Hey guys!
I have stumbled across a small prob. In my game, if you manage to hit all 3 stars, in the menu, it displays the actual stars itself. - 1hit=1star shown in menu...
But there is a prob., when the stars hit is saved when actor dies or time up or all stars collected, it displays perfectly. However when i redo the level, it replaces the older star score with the new one, which means that when during first try i hit 2 stars, it displays 2 stars. During 2nd try, i hit nothing, it also displays nothing! How do i make it such that it only saves when the score is higher?
I am using attributes instead of tables because i could not get the actual stars to represent in the menu instead of numbers, like in tshirtbooth's template.
Thanks for the help.

The CurrentStars attribute is an attribute that you would want to add to count the stars collected each time a game is played, no matter what level it is use the same CurrentStars attribute. This will give you the ability to do the comparison between the amount of stars currently collected and the previous best score.
Also instead of adding +1 to the levels best attribute when collecting a star, add it to the current stars attribute.
- every hit, change attribute current stars to current stars+1.
but how do i connect the 2 attributes?
