Need Help with saving a unlocked level and having it stay there after a close the app and reopen it

BrainStorm Games

Hi I am working on a app that has 10 levels 1-10 actors 2-10 are set up like this: if unlock2 is false destroy this actor and when the user gets done with one level, there is a level complete screen then the user clicks the continue button and it should to do this: touch is pressed > change attribute game.unlock2 to true which makes the actor appear > save attribute unlock2 with key 2unlock > change scene to level select where the is a actor that is Supposed to load the saved attribute. This works fine except when I close out of the app And when I reopen all the levels are gone! doesn't save or load anything but the 1st level what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hi @jjctSoft my guess is that the Load Attribute behaviours are in the wrong place...

If you have a menu card with all of the levels showing, then put the Load Attribute behaviours in an actor placed outside of the screen area.

Tip: presumably then, you've some Rules in the levels actors with locks, whenL2Unlock is true, Change Image level2 image with no lock showing, or similar; go to scene 2.

Hi @jjctSoft, I would advise you use Tables. Once you save something there, it's there forever, so no need to load anything. (Keep in mind though, when you reset games, you have to change everything in the table to 0)

Hope this helps

Good advice from @Chakku, tables are useful for instantly saving with a Save Table Behaviour and no loading required, so best if you have many attributes to save. (If you've not that many, probably best to stick with the Save & Load Attribute behaviours).

But worth pointing out that if you use this way, make a duplicate of your attributes table, so you can keep the first one for a new game, and the other for updating the saves.

how would I go about doing that?

Copying the table, making a table or populating the table with your attribute values, did you mean?
