@fajlajp thanks buddy i watched the video atleast 4 times and the way my game is set up i just cant work around the video dues posted but thanks anyway dues.

in the end i just had to make a Save and load attribute on the home menu but theres 36 of them and it gets tricky no lag surprisingly but i would still like a table system, its just going to take me sometime to figure it all out but practice makes perfect ey :P

It maybe a little late posting this but this is how i did it....

Create a table called Levelstars with as many rows as you have levels

Open the level tile and add an integer attribute.. for example "stars"

Then inside the tile have:

Change Attribute "Stars" to TableCellValue(game.Levelstars,*,1) *=the level number

At the end of each of your levels just have it change the table to update the row with the stars. Then save the table

Finally have you Level tile change depending on the Star Attribute..

If Star = 1 Change Image to (Tile with 1 star)
If Star = 2 Change Image to (Tile with 2 stars)

hope this helps

Finally have you Level tile change depending on the Star Attribute..

If Star = 1 Change Image to (Tile with 1 star)
If Star = 2 Change Image to (Tile with 2 stars)

hope this helps

you can even trim it down further with a single rule

change image to (TableCellValue(X,X,X).."star")

and then name your images like 1star, 2star, 3star. that rule will take the numeric value from the table and then append star and display the matching image.
