Saving

[Jordan4762]

How Would I Fix This?

Code: Select all

if love.keyboard.isDown("s") and love.keyboard.isDown("lctrl") then 
love.filesystem.setIdentity("4762games") 
success = love.filesystem.write( "4762games/platformer", highscore , 100 ) 
contents, size = love.filesystem.read( "4762games/platformer" , 100 ) 
end 

Yea, Ive Never Tried Saving Before

[Robin]

1) You only need to use love.filesystem.setIdentity("4762games") once in your game, usually in love.load.

2) Try this: (untested)

Code: Select all

if love.keyboard.isDown("s") and love.keyboard.isDown("lctrl") then  -- assuming you set the identity in love.load
    love.filesystem.write( "platformer", tostring(highscore)) -- no need for the third parameter
    --  is highscore a number or a string?
end 

Hope this helps.

Wow, that's... some very messy code.

What didn't you get?

What I meant was:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
love.filesystem.setIdentity("4762games") -- INSERT THIS HERE
movingobject = "O" --love.graphics.newImageData("Explosion fire texture.png")
x = 50
y = 50
speed = 100
end
-- SNIP: keep the rest the same

--Highscore saving? Dont Know How...
if love.keyboard.isDown("s") and love.keyboard.isDown("lctrl") then
success = love.filesystem.write( "platformer", highscore , 100 ) -- CHANGE THIS LINE
contents, size = love.filesystem.read( "platformer" , 100 ) -- CHANGE THIS LINE
end

--And keep the rest the same.

Hope that helps.

It Wont Work

[Robin]

Hm. Could you be more specific? Do you get an error message or something? What is your current code?

I Give Up On This Project For Now

Aw, don't give up so soon!

It'll be hard first, but that's everything in life.
