How do I use webstorage on level select

Hi how do i use webstorage to keep the levels unlocked once they have been passed. I used a simple level select tutorial i found where each level has its own global number ie level1,level2,level3 ect. they all = 0 till you pass the level and it will add 1 to unlock the next level. I have only ever used webstorage for highscores and can't work out how to adapt it for what i need it for.

any help would be great and thanks in advance

if your levels are linear, you can just add a var 'level' starting at 1 and add 1 to it when you finish a level.

then save it to webstorage - add key="level" value=level.

if not i recommend you add a dictionary instead of pre-adding all the levels as vars (may be a lot of them) and push a key to it every time you finish a level - add key="level"&level (value doesn't matter, if you want to keep an extra state of the level you can write it in the value, i usually write down another json in the value with all my data).

then save this dictionary to json to webstorage.

thanks for the reply Lof

I did try to have one var like you said done it the same way just added 1 per win. The problem i had with that was you could just play the 1st level over and over to unlock all the other levels. but i think it might just be easier to do it that way and hope people don't work it out.

and il have to have a look into dictionary

Thanks again

so have two vars 'level' 'nextLevel', set level to the right level at the beginning of each level and then when you finish set 'nextLevel' to level+1

or to be exact set it to max(nextLevel,level+1), so if you'll reach level 10 and go back to play level 1 it won't return to 2.

Webstorage is deprecated. You should really look at using Local Storage now.

Wouldn't that be as easy as setting the item to Array.AsJson ?

Yup just save it to json then load it from json.

OK i can save by arryay.as.Json

but how to load it on startup

As explained in this tutorial:

how to use the localstorage plugin:

In your on start of layout add an actiont to check if local storage item exists

add a new event to your event sheet:

local storage on item exist:

array load : localstorage.itemvalue

As far as I know you don't need a step inbetween..

ok ok ok

now i m getting this point

global variable and array has same method to save

in array

local storage on item exist:

array load : localstorage.itemvalue

this is a little change

otherwise everything is same
