simplest local storage as possible ?

hi guys, i was wondering what is the cleanes, and shortest way to save a global variable ( i saw many examples, but feel that i do not need all the codes)... i need this: press + key = set value 1 , press - key = set value 0 and each value is always saved as local strage...

Local Storage -> Set item "MyValue" to myGlobalVar

That's it.

hi sorry, i am new in this saving stuff..it did no really work...

I have this.. if i press + add 1 to global ...if i press - subtract 1 from global... if I close and reopen the game it should remember it... could you maybe post a image of the code ? thanks

| Global number Variable1? = 0

--------------------

The following is so that when you close, your value is loaded

--------------------

+ System: On start of layout

-> LocalStorage: Check item "MyVar" exists

+ LocalStorage: On item "MyVar" missing

-> LocalStorage: Set item "MyVar" to Variable1

+ LocalStorage: On item "MyVar" exists

-> LocalStorage: Get item "MyVar"

+ LocalStorage: On item "MyVar" get

-> System: Set Variable1 to LocalStorage.ItemValue

--------------------

The following is to save the value when it is modified

--------------------

+ Keyboard: On Numpad add pressed

-> System: Add 1 to Variable1

-> LocalStorage: Set item "MyVar" to Variable1

+ Keyboard: On Numpad subtract pressed

-> System: Subtract 1 from Variable1

-> LocalStorage: Set item "MyVar" to Variable1

thanks a lot... so that is the MINIMUM of code ?

can U give a look to this:

it seems to work..but i don't know if I made mistakes...it is a very short code

You only asked how to save a value, you didn't ask how to load it <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

This is the bare minimum code:

Also, have you tried googling? There are plenty of tutorials with good examples of using the local storage:

In your capx you are not saving high score in Local Storage! You are saving and loading the entire game.

thank U so much 4 your help

stupid question... what do u mean with the entire game..is it not related only to the variable ?

is it also ok...or is it totaly wron to make it like that ?

As dop2000 indicates, you are using 'Save Game'

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/526/how-to-make-savegames

This would save the current status of everything, not just a variable/options.

I'm confused.. How did you make this awesome game and yet asking these very basic questions?

... the problem is that I suffer strong dyslexia and unfortunatelly also discalculy... this means that what 4 you guys is so simple to proccess...sometimes for me is such a pain

Kudos to you! I'm terrible with graphics and visual effects..

thanks 4 ur help
