The third example down in his demo for "recording/capturing time". I'm trying to figure out how to save the captured time. I am fricken close..so frustrating..but it's not saving/loading upon restarting game :(

http://gamesalad.com/game/play/34021

I've got save captureTime and save setup...but I'm not sure if that's what I need to save and how to (if at all) add it to the current time upon load.

Thank you so much to whomever helps here :)

    Just to be clear, it doesn't work on the device?

    Because that is the only place you can test saving/loading...

    yes of course :) It's not working on my iPad.

    I'm feel I'm close, I can save and load a "time" but the time it saves seems arbitrary, ie a much higher time number.

    you need to load and save in different scenes...
    load all your attributes in the very first scene.

    are you able to get a very basic app working with saving/loading?
    just save a simple attribute. quit. relaunch. load it back in?

    This is for my already published Rodent Rage (mini games). It has lots of save/loads for scores so I'm used to that.

    Yeah I have the loads in the first scene and the saves are on the mini game's rules where it captures the time. I just don't know if I need to save your "capturedTime" or what...? And then what and how do I load it? Is it game.capturedtime to game.capturedtime + game.time?

    Any chance you could have a look and tell me if I need to save the captureTime Attribute and how to add it to the current time? Unless I had that right above :o

    Oooooooookay for those who need help with this in the future, I myself can lend a hand:

    In order to save the captured time you'll need to load and save both the captured time and the startcaptured time attributes.

    I have an upcoming survival game with a time limit. I'm trying to display a timer in the corner to show how long the player has survived. After they die, it switches scenes. On the game over screen, I'm trying to display the Total time they survived in the previous scene.

    Any help?
