I'm having a bit of trouble saving higscore to a file. I'll give some code

Code:


hiscore.dat


I have explained a bit in the code, i really cant seem to find whats wrong with my code but it seems that he does not move 9 to 10 and just overwrites the highscore. It's hard to explain its behavior. Anyone can help?

Quote: "FileW = OpenToWrite (file$, 0)"


Change the ",0" to ",1". 0 will make it overwrite the file and 1 will append it.

Quote from documentation:
Quote: "
append - Set to 1 to append to the file, 0 to overwrite all data (optional, default 1)."

It needs to overwrite the whole file.

It reads the code in a dim then checks for that dim if the score is bigger then one of the dimmed scores if it is it puts all current scores that are lower than the current score one place lower so the 10th best score dissapears 9th best score becomes 10th, 8th best score becomes 9th and so on. Then when its at the part where your score needs to come it puts it right there in the dim.

Then it OVERWRITES the file with the whole new dim which is what it needs to do.

I do it like this anyway

This gets wath position the user have entered!



This shuffles the others down and puts the players entry at the right place!


I have made an complete file to be used in all my games

Simply paste in the functions and voila an high score

Thanks cliff, i'll look into this tomorrow as it's time to say good night for me.

Its lesser lines than my code

I'm sure it works with some editing from my end.

Yes but this is only parts of my high score code

You only wanted help with getting the player entry in the right place and to shuffle down the lower scores?

If it dont work so could you try my complete file !

This is still work in progress for me but it works!



Cheers......

Ps...... if you scroll the view offset so must you reset it back to o,o or the agk input window will not always show up!

The first part was exactly what i was looking for. In your second part i have a tip for ya.

Type HScore
name$
nr
Endtype

dim HighScore[5] as Hscore

and then change every HighScoreNR to Highscore.nr and HighScoreName$ to Highscore.name$

Its not that your part is wrong but i think it's neater code.

Gonna add your first part to my code now and test it out.

There is no need to keep putting stuff like this in your code:


Just do this:

Does the exit function command work in the agk ?

I tryed to use it in the beginning but it read the entire function anyway

But that whas in the first release

Thanks bursar are going to check if it works now ?

I actually hate the goto command

Edited................
I knew there whas a reason i used it

exit function uses more lines of bytecode then the 2 lines neaded for the goto function
