How do I fix my high score? [Please Help]

Hello all, I'm wondering...

How do I reset my high score back to 0? I'm using web storage. It seems like it should be really simple... Do I set the value of the stored item(cookie) to 0? If so, how exactly do I do it?

Thanks all,

You can just create an event like On Key Press (pick a key) and for the action, clear local storage or clear session storage.

Just remove it before you finish up your game.

Thanks a lot, I'll try it and see if it works...

I tried it and it did work, but now there's another problem! It seems like turned it off rather than reset it... It won't keep score anymore:( It seems broken. How do I turn it on, or activate it again?

Yea, it just seems to stay at 0 now:( How do I fix it?

how do you have it setup to clear the storage? Can you show the code snippet of where you are clearing it?

Sure, here it is... <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54192518/example1.PNG" border="0" />

Ok, the only place you are setting the high score is on the start of layout. Since varHighScore is 0 at that point, it setting 0 to the webstorage.

Try creating another Keyboard event to give yourself a score to play around with it. Or 2 keys to give different scores for testing.

I'm not sure if I get it:( Can you show me what Action path would look like? For example... Keyboard-->On "H" Pressed-->Webstorage-->?????

Thanks,

What I mean is, right now your code is never setting a highscore to the webstorage, so naturally it's 0.

Maybe this will help if you haven't seen it yet.

Yea man, that's the exact tutorial I followed and it worked perfectly before you help me reset back to 0, but now it seems broken. I mean, how is it never setting a high score? I don't get it, I didn't change anything. All I did was set the value back to 0, right?

Please, it would really help me out if you showed me a code example...

Hey ArcadEd, can you still help me out:)?

Have you tried Set local value -> varHighScore -> 0?

Where in your code are you saving the high score to web storage? I don't see it in the snippet you posted.

Do you mind posting up a CAPX?

You shoot the eyes with the spacebar to move on and see the High score, but for some reason, it just always remains at 0.

Thanks again for the help.
