Save only high score

Hello,

I have a global variable which stores the highest score which the player has managed to achieve.

It saves fine but I only want to save the global variable and nothing else.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hey !

Yes, you can save the variable, and set what you don't want to save. You should take a look to this tutorial where Ashley explains how this works, step by step.

How to make savegames

Hi,

I had a look at that tutorial before but it doesn't go into how to save individual parts of the game.

From what I can see there is a 'no save' behaviour which you can only give to objects.

Giving an event an action of 'save' it just saves the whole game, you can't save an individual variable.

Thanks.

The default save system is like this : it saves everything except the nosave behavior objects. If you want to do another type of save, you have to do it manually. This means create a function that prepare your save and store it (in local storage). Then do another "load" function that loads the game from the local storage.

Local storage is a cache system letting you store datas through different sessions. It is a local system, meaning the same user going from a computer to another will lose its save. If you have a login system, you could also save it online.

Check the manual.

Thanks guys I've got it sorted now. Instead of 'save' I used the object 'web storage' and got it working.
