Hi there,

A save attribute will, and I know this is self explanatory, 'save' the current state of an attribute. For example, if I passed level 3 in a game, I'd make sure to save that information so that when player reboots the device, or closes the app in multitasking, it will remember which level that player was one before the app closed.

When you decide to use the save attribute behavior, make sure to play it BELOW the attribute that your changing. For example, if I was saving the high score, this is what it'd look like:

Rule:
if game.Score is greater then game.Highscore:
change attribute game.Highscore to game.Score.
save attribute: game.Highscore. Key: score

If you save an attribute before you change it, it will only load back as the value that you saved it as.

The key is like a password, kinda. :P
It's important to remember the key for a save attribute so that you can input that into the load attribute. The load attribute will load back that value that was saved. The key is like a bridge. So the key needs to be exactly the same as in the change attribute.


Hopefully this answers your question, let me know if you have any problems or any additional questions!

thanks but it doesn't work on gamesalad, when I play it and then replay it it starts with 0 again... I think it only work when you published it, doesn't it?
