High Score attribute doesn't work

gineepig

I am making an endless runner in which the score works fine, so I made another integer attribute, highscore, and put in an actor which is always on the screen in the scene to change game.highscore to game.score whenever score is greater than highscore. And I even put an actor that displays game.highscore on the screen at al times, but it remains at 0. I have tried putting the rule in almost every actor in my game you could imagine, still always 0. Any thoughts? Also, I don't want to use a table because I made a custom font.

Is it possible that you have more than one game attribute named "highscore"? Is it possible that you've unlocked an actor on the scene and created an instance with its own unique rules? Try deleting the actors that control score and highscore from the scene and then re-adding them.

all of the actors are set to spawn once the scene starts, so the scene template is basically empty.

Also, your logic may be out.

Rather than changing the highscore to gamescore, *constrain* it to gamescore.

Or, you can calculate it at the end of a round/game over:

If score is greater than high score, change attribute score to highscore
Save highscore.

Hope that helps,

Yeah, none of that worked:/

Can you send me a link to download your file? It may be something obvious that is easier to find visually.

can you post a screenshot of your rule?
Are you sure the actor is actually spawning when the game starts?
Why not create an actor slightly off scene with your rules that is always there?
