Biberjumper

Hello.
I am new here and i have created al little test game for my own, but it doesn’t works.
I would like to save the variable „p“ (total points), but it doesn’t works..
I know that it is this command „saveLocalData=("save_p"), p“... but i can’t put it on the right place...

Sorry for the Code window... I don’t can fix it...

@Biberjumper Whenever you post code, put ~~~ on a line before and after your code. The command to save local data is saveLocalDate(“save_p”,p) . That can be put after p=p+x in the keyboard function. The reason you’re having trouble with it is because at the end of the draw function you have the code saveLocalData=(“save_t”),t which is redefining saveLocalData to something else. That should be removed. Also, you might not want to put it in the draw function because the draw function gets executed 60 times per second. Maybe you can put saveLocalData(“save_t”,t) in the touched() function to save it anytime the screen is touched.

It doesn’t works again...

@Biberjumper The reason it doesn’t work is because in line 70 in the image above, you’re redefining what saveLocalData is. Remove the line saveLocalData= and try again. When you redefine a function, then it doesn’t do what it’s intended to do which is why it’s giving you an error.

Biberjumper

Do you mean it like this?

dave1707

@Biberjumper I meant for you to remove the whole line. Get rid of the (“save_t”),t . The format for save local data is saveLocalData(“keyname”,value) .

Sorry... I am to dump...

Aaaah Ok... Thank you! I understand
