Store the score and preload it at next game

Save/Load Highest Score

I currently trying to make the leaderboard to show the highest score.

For example, if the player play the game and earn the score of 500 at easy difficulty. The score would be saved and would be display at leaderboard if the score was the highest score at easy mode such as this sample below.

Top Score

Easy - 500
Normal - 234
Hard - 118

So far I already make the leaderboard, but I am not sure which trigger could be use for saving the highest score.

 

[CaptDeath]

just use if thens and interger comps
like


if Value A > Value B
then Set HighestScore=a string
if vaule A > Value C
then Set Highest Score = Value A




repeat for values B and C




then for writing its name


if highest score = Value A
then set string(prefix)=Easy
or else
if highest score = Value B
then set string(prefix)=Normal
or else
if highest score = Value C
then set string(prefix)=Hard
or else

 

[Dinowc]

CaptDeath that's not a very good method..

you could make an array integer variable, each array index representing player number

like this:

set PlayerScore[1] = (Player 1's score)
set PlayerScore[2] = (Player 2s score)
set PlayerScore[3] = (Player 3's score)
set PlayerScore[n] = (Player n's score)

and then in action:

for each (Integer A) from 1 to 12
    Loop
     if then else
       if HighestScore less than PlayerScore[Integer A]
       then
          set HighestScore = PlayerScore[Integer A]
          set ArrayValue = (Integer A)
       else

and the winner would be Player[ArrayValue]

hope it helped

 

[CaptDeath]

dinowc the problem with what you posted wont get which one of a players values is the highest casue easy/normal arent players there difficlutys

 

[Septimus]

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Difficulty Equal to 1
    Then - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Scores Greater than High_Score[1]
            Then - Actions
                Set High_Score[1] = Scores
                Game Cache - Store High_Score[1] as HighScore1 of HighScore in (Last created game cache)
            Else - Actions
    Else - Actions

I try to set it to saves the scores shall the score higher than the high score. But, when i restart the game. The high score doesn't seems to be store into it.

 

[Azlier]

Well, give us more information! Is this a multiplayer map? Is it in a campaign? Just a normal single player map?

 

[Septimus]

normal single player map.

 

[Azlier]

Huh. I don't know if game cache extends to them. *calls in for a game cache expert, looking worried*

 

[CaptDeath]

yes deffinately try a game cache

 

[Septimus]

I try to make the highest score to be saved.

For example, if the user play the game and earn a score of 347 and the score was the highest. The score would be saved and be show at the leaderboard shall he play the game again.

 

[bOb666777]

Yup, use a game cache

How?
Create it,
Set a game cache variable to last created game cache
Save the score in it
Save the cache

In another trigger, for the next time you play
Create a game cahe (with the same filename than the previous)
Set Score = Load Integer blah

 

[Azlier]

O, you blind guides! He is using game cache!

From the first post:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Difficulty Equal to 1
  • Then - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Scores Greater than High_Score[1]
      • Then - Actions
        • Set High_Score[1] = Scores
        • Game Cache - Store High_Score[1] as HighScore1 of HighScore in (Last created game cache)
      • Else - Actions
  • Else - Actions

[bOb666777]

No you didnt, you keep using Last created game cache

You have to set it to a variable

And did you even create a game cache first?

I am not familiar with game cache since this was the first time I ever use it.

 

[CaptDeath]

on the gamecache creation
have like a if then
if there is a game cache copy it or load or w/e
if there isnt one create it

 

[Septimus]

the only preload i seen was to load presave unit.

 

[bOb666777]

"Create Game Cache" automatically does that, I believe.

The only thing I can see to do is remove the spaces from the file name

 

[Septimus]

So, everything was set correctly except the file name?

 

[bOb666777]

I don't know, did you test it?
