Question

I got it working so that it will keep track of a score for a certain game but whenever i restart my game the high score goes back to 0. Here is my script and thanks for all the help in advance.

static var hotDogsEaten : int = 0; var mosthotDogsEaten : int = 0; function Update() { print(PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score"));

PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Current Score", hotDogsEaten);

PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", mosthotDogsEaten);

if(PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Current Score") > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score")) { PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", hotDogsEaten); }}

// I have a different script that tells when a hot dog is eaten.

for starters, you don't need to set the PlayerPrefs every frame:

static var hotDogsEaten : int = 0;
var mostHotDogsEaten : int = 0; 

    function Update() { 

    if(hotDogsEaten > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score")) {     
    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", hotDogsEaten);
    mosthotDogsEaten = hotDogsEaten;
    }
    }

next, when you start up, you'll need to retrieve that info:

function Start(){

mostHotDogsEaten = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score")
}

that's it!

edit: removed unnecessary lines, my bad..

if(!PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score"))

is this a proper statement??? i hope GetInt returns 0 when there is no key present... also these lines

if(!PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score")) PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score",0);

are not even needed since it is gonna return 0 even if the key is not preset. if you want it more readable you should be using if(!PlayerPrefs.HasKey("High Score"))

ok.. I don't have much experience with PlayerPrefs, so if "if(!PlayerPrefs.HasKey("High Score"))" is available, I'm sure you're right.. My line would work too though.. as for returning 0 on a null value, not so sure.. You MAY be right.. Yep, ok, you're right, just tested.. Just didn't know if it could cause an error to try to retrieve a non-existent value, guess not
