OK so, I am trying to create a saving mechanism for my game where as soon as the game is over, if the score is a new high score, the score is automatically saved to a file. I am creating for Android and testing it on an Android device
I have a global script
var highscore #highscore will be loaded in this variable
var save_data = {"score": score} # data that will be saved
var loaded_data # variable to store loaded data
func _ready(): #ready
save_play_data("user://play.data", save_data)
loaded_data = load_play_data("user://play.data")
set_data(loaded_data)
func save(score): #function that can be called from the game scene whenever there is a new highscore
save_data = {"coins": score }
save_play_data("user://play.data", save_data)
func save_play_data(path, data): #function to save data to file
var f = File.new()
f.open(path, File.WRITE)
f.store_var(data)
f.close()
func load_play_data(path): # function to load file
var f = File.new()
if f.file_exists(path):
f.open(path, File.READ)
var data = f.get_var()
f.close()
return data
return null
func set_data(data): # function to assign data["score"] to score variable
highscore = data["score"]
Now whenever I transfer it to an Android phone it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
While debugging there seems to be no error
Any help is appreciated
