Check when closest to 0
The point of my game is to be as close to 0 as possible. How can I set highscore based on how close you are to 0. Let's say the last highscore is 0.12, then I get 0.09, then that should be the new high score. Then let's say I get -0.02, than that's the new highscore. I know how to use get and set int/float, so that's not what i'm asking. I'd really appreciate answers!
Hey! I'm not sure if this would work but you could do a check each time the score is created and if it is a highscore overwrite a variable. For example:
var score;
var highscore;
if(score < 0){
if(highscore < 0){
if((score * -1) < (highscore * -1)){
highscore = score;
}
}
else{
if((score * -1) < highscore){
highscore = score;
}
}
}
else{
if(highscore < 0){
if(score < (highscore * -1)){
highscore = score;
}
}
else{
if(score < highscore){
highscore = score;
}
}
}
I haven't tested this but I think it might work, sorry if this isn't what your looking for :) Hopefully what this does is check if the score is negative and multiplies by -1 if it is(this will give us a positive value to compare to). Then the same is done for the current highscore incase that is negative as well e.g -0.02 . Then the closest to 0 value should be saved into highscore. P.S This is not refactored, you can probably write the same code in a couple of lines but i'm a noob :)
There is not enough information here to really be able to help you a whole lot. Do you want something like:
if (Mathf.Abs(newScore) < Mathf.Abs(highscore)) highscore = newScore;
This checks the absolute value of the new score and compares it's total distance from zero to the current highscore's.
You can use absolute value to normalize the values then take the lowest one.
if(Mathf.Abs(score) < Mathf.Abs(highscore))
highscore = score;
