How can a Save a HighScore
I have made a version of the Runner Game from Cat Like Tutorials and i was wondering if anyone here could please provide me with an example on how to save. I have heard of playerprefs but dont know how to use it
Unity does come with documentation; did you try reading it?

You will have a score variable, which will calculate the score in game and will compare it with playerprefs with key "highscore". If it is higher then it will store the score to the PlayerPref using PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highscore",score);
this statement will store value of score in highscore PlayerPref. To retrieve the highscore you can use PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore")
.
if(score > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore"))
{
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highscore",score);
}

I was hoping for one that would save so that if i disabled play and then clicked it agian it would still be there.Incase that is soppose to do that and i made a mistake here is my line for it(and yes i know i have diffrent variables)
void GameOver () { if(highestScore > PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("bestScore")){ PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("bestScore",highestScore); } }
It will definetly store the score but after you finished with building the game. Not while playing it in unity.
I have already done this in my android device and working fine.
