Save a variable

hi guys, i know i have a silly question, im new to construct but i have a bit of programming knowledge, ok so i have menu layout and event sheet and game layout and event sheet, when i press the button the menu button from the game i set value "chooser=2" ,then in menu when i restart, chooser reverts back to its initial value of 1. basically im allowing the user to start a new level but in essence just restarting the same layout while needing to save some variables that unlocks buttons.

i have tried the level saving capx but for the life of me, my variables aren't saving.

have you try local storage?

What's "restart" means to you? F5 in the browser? because if that's the answer, you need to go with the previous advice <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

BUT don't use a LocalStorage key for every varible. Save them in a Dictionary and then pass it to only one key on the LocalStorage. Here's a example that I've just prepared for another guy about how to use it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ndhr3i5qw9300 ... .capx?dl=0

hi guys, thanx alot, no i haven't tried local storage as yet, will give it a go, sorry i'm still using r227, capx refuses to open unless i have r239 or higher. will give feedback

You always can download r239 only to open up my example

Good luck!

will do but currently i'm trying to get webstorage to work, i am saving the value to key but how do i increment key by 1 each time a button is clicked?

In my example there is a sum using the keys indeed hahaha

lol ok let me download r239

In my example there is a sum using the keys indeed hahaha

ok so i have had a look but im not getting anywhere quickly. your example displays all scores as 0

thanx alot guys, got it working with global variable and webstorage...

Because it starts with 0, then in the next layout you set random scores (a sum each time you press the button) and it goes to local storage.
