Question by DubstepDragon · Jul 25, 2013 at 10:45 AM · scorehighscore

Saving a value if it is larger than the current value...

I have a score script right here:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ScoreSystem : MonoBehaviour {
     
     public GUIText guiText;
     public int scoreValue;
     
     public static bool hasPlayed = false;
     
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
 
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         if(Move.playerAlive) {
             scoreValue++;
         }
         
         guiText.text = "" + scoreValue;
         
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("scoreValue", scoreValue);
         
         if(!Move.playerAlive) {
             PlayerPrefs.Save();
             hasPlayed = true;
         }
     }
 }


What I want is to have another PlayerPrefs value, that will only record the highest score (high score). Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance!

You will need an if statement that checks the current score against the stored highscore:

 // at the top
 public int highScore;
 
 // in your start functiion
 void Start(){
     highScore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore");
     if (highScore == 0){
         highScore = 0;
     }
 }
 
 // in your update function
 void Update(){
     // ...
     if (scoreValue > highScore){
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highScore", scoreValue);
     } else {
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highScore", highScore);
     }
 }

I think this as a basic recipe may help you get started.

A-W-E-S-O-$$anonymous$$-E! Works like a charm! This was amazingly simple, yet organized, and that is what makes good code. Thanks dude!

pretty simple, just say:

 if(PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score") < scoreValue)
 PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", scoreValue);

 // Declare variables     
 private int highScore;
 public int scoreValue;

 // Use this for initialization 
 void Start(){
     if (HasKey("highScore"))
     {
         highScore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore");
     }else
     {
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highScore", 0);
         highScore = 0;
     }      
  }

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update(){
     if (scoreValue > highScore){
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highScore", scoreValue);
         highScore = scoreValue ;
     } 
 }
