Scoreboard Help Needed!

CharlieG97

I have a scoring system that ranges from 0-1100.
I need to have a highscore feature which saves the score closest to 1000. I currently have the highest score being saved and displayed on the game's main menu but I don't know how to make scores above 1000 that are further away from the current score not count. Example:
High score 990 is worse than high score 1005, so I would want 1005 displayed. However...
High score 995 is better than high score 1010, but currently it would display 1010.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You need to use a couple of math expressions and then compare the sums. You would need to store the sums in self attributes in the actor that computes the score.

Self attributes

Score -
Score +

Rule.

If score is < 1000

Change attribute score- to 1000 - score


Rule.

If score is > 1000

Change attribute score+ to score - 1000


Rule

If score- < score +

Add to high score


Rule if score + < score -

Add to high score

Sorry for the late reply, I appreciate the help!
I'm writing all the rules and I'm just stuck on one thing. With the last 2 rules where you've put "Add to high score" how exactly do I do this.
Change attribute game.highscore to ??
What do I put in place of the question marks?
Thanks.

Here's a slightly different way to do it (see attached demo).

Just took a quick look and it seems perfect. Will have to look at it in more detail tomorrow though. Thanks for the help as usual
