Save the highest score

I'm creating a game where the less time you take to finish the level the more stars you get, a maximum total of 3... The problem is that when I get 3 stars I get 3 stars, but when after getting 3 stars you play the same level again and get 2 stars, 2 stars come out and I want to keep the highest possible score... I've been trying for hours and nothing, can someone help me? Thanks

Example I created: fileport.io/AsNT22YguYdN

You are going to need a lot more logic than what you have. You could store the scores in a global variable per level. You also need a global variable to track the score in the current level to compare later, let's call this score.

So when you finish the level let's say 'score' =2(stars) you compare it to level 1 variable, if score greater than 'level 1' variable then set 'level 1' to score else do nothing. So if level 1 was already 3 (stars) then it would not change from 3, but if you didn't play level 1 yet so it is 0 or a lower score like 1, it would update to 2.

Can you give me an example of how I should do it? Thx

Thank you very much, but now the localstorage to save the stars is not working for me...

In my example it is removed you don't need it. Use system save instead.

I'm trying to use LocalStorage but there's no way to get it to save... I'm too new :(

Could you do it for me? I won't bother you anymore

In order not to change everything again, I prefer to continue with my example... if someone knows how to fix it for me

Well because you are new I'm saying you don't need local storage here you can use system save/load

You can achieve that using Array + Local Storage.

Suppose you have 10 levels. Create an array (1D) of size 10. The index of each element will be the index of the level, and the element at that index will be the number of stars assigned to the player for that specific level.

Ex: [2,3,3,-1,-1,-1]. Level 0 was completed with 2 stars, level 1 with 3 stars, level 2 with 3 stars, and level 3,4,5 are not completed.

In Construct you can't explicitly store arrays using data storage, but you can store text. By converting the array into a JSON and then storing the JSON, you can effectively store an array, represented as a string.

When you get your data back, you just need to load the JSON into the array.

Here's a working example: dropbox.com/scl/fi/sxcybgz2948554akfm3gv/Level-Stars.c3p

That's a mess... I'd like to do it properly with localstorage or array...

A mess, what do you mean ?

Tired of not being able to do it, I pay money for someone to fix it for me

No problem, at least this post will remain as evidence that you are unappreciative of help from other users on the forums for when you post again next time :)
