Question by plumel · Mar 19, 2016 at 11:57 AM · arraysavewrite data

write to new line?

Sounds kinda simple but can't seem to get it to work.

Currently my game is asking for a name, upon a button click, this name and their score are stored in an array. I want this array to be saved to a text file, which it is, but it only stores 1 game save if you can understand that.

So the original text is getting written over each time the score and name are saved.

Here is what I'm trying:

using UnityEngine; using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using UnityEngine.UI; using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class GUI_Button : MonoBehaviour {

 public PlayerMovement GUIScript;
 public RandomSpawn GUIScript1;
 private int count = RandomSpawn.count;
 public string PlayerName = "Enter name";
 public string fileName = "leaderboard.txt";
 public string FinalName = "";
 public string count1 = "";
 public string newline = "\n";

 void OnGUI ()
 {
     if (PlayerMovement.livess <= 0) 
     {
         GUI.Button (new Rect (400, 200, 300, 200), "Score:" + (count+10));
         PlayerName = GUI.TextField (new Rect (400, 400, 300, 100), PlayerName);
         CountToString ();
         if (GUI.Button (new Rect (400, 500, 200, 100), "Save Score"))
             FinalName = PlayerName;
             StoreInArray ();
     }
 }
 void CountToString ()
 {
     count1 = count.ToString();
 }
 void StoreInArray ()
 {
     string[] PlayerAndScore = {FinalName, count1};
     System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(@"C:\Users\Plum\Desktop\Pixel Ninjav3.3\Assets\leaderboard.txt", PlayerAndScore);
     System.IO.File.AppendAllText(@"C:\Users\Plum\Desktop\Pixel Ninjav3.3\Assets\leaderboard.txt", newline);

 }

}

 void StoreInArray(){
 
 string[] PlayerAndScore = {FinalName, count1};
 StreamWriter w = File.AppendText( /path to file/);
 w.Write(PlayerAndScore);
 w.Close();
 }

Hope this helps

This comes back with "System.String []" when written to the file

@Roddeck ?

Do you know why this is happening?

You need to write to file per line in a loop so something like:

 foreach (string line in PlayerAndScore){
 w.Write(line);
 }

Or if this writes all in one line do:

foreach (string line in PlayerAndScore){ w.Write(line); w.Write("\n"); }

Let me know if that works ;)
