Highscore system not working on phone BUT it works on computer whys that?

http_gamesalad

I made this high score system using tables it works just perfect on my computer but when I test it out on my ipod it doesn't work.. its not accurate at all. Whys this? This is really strange.. Can anyone help me on this?

This is the video I followed

The tricky thing about saying "I followed this video" is that while it's helpful to know where you started, it doesn't give us any insight into where the problem might lie. You could have a missing rule, an incorrectly entered attribute name, a math formula with a missing parenthesis, etc.

If possible, post screenshots or a project file (.zip it first) so that the community here can help you diagnose the issue.

Also "it's not accurate at all" probably means something fairly specific to you... what does it mean? Are the right scores showing up but in the wrong order, are the scores all off by a factor of 100, are the scores all showing up as zero, etc.?

@tatiang hello! sorry I home and im about to head to bed. Ill give you feedback tomorrow if I solved the issue or not. Thanks I really appreciate your time

@http_gamesalad if you changed a table then loaded it on your device without deleting the old one first it will not work correctly. Delete it then install it and see if it works.

As @colander mentions. It might be a table issue. If you published an app, you cannot add rows, columns, rename them etc. anymore. The only fix is to completely delete the game off your phone (so it wipes all associated data).

It's good to be aware of this especially when publishing, as you can possibly mess up your game for users. If a game has already been published, the best approach is to create a new table.

@tatiang here is my coding and my table. & @colander & @pHghost I didnt change the table.. Im testing it out on testflightapp before I upload it. You mean if I delete the app of my phone it should work?

I can't help you without knowing more information, which is why I asked:

Are the right scores showing up but in the wrong order, are the scores all off by a factor of 100, are the scores all showing up as zero, etc.?

The score isn't individual to each level. Example if I beat level one I scored 2000 points my highscore would be 2000. Now if I go to level two and I score 0 points it says for the level two my highscore is 2000 which shouldn't be possible because my highscore should be 0 since I scored 0 points. The high score isn't individual to each level for some reason. It like rolls over to the other level... Its like an over all highscore. @tatiang

Save each level highscore to a table and set your highscore attribute from it at the start of each level. Check your score at the end of the level, if it is higher update your highscore attribute and save it to the table cell for that level.
