Adding a scoreboard.

Ben :)

Hey GS community , I wonder if you could help me out...

I am trying to create a scoreboard system in my game, so the player can look back and see their 3 best scores.

I have managed to add a scoring system (and a display for it), by giving the player one point every second.

The problem is that I cannot work out how to make it so I can store the players top 3 scores, and display them in the scoreboard scene.

I have included some screenshots of my work below (in the google docs file):

Thanks for your time and help , have a great day!

You will most likely need to use a table to store the 3 best scores. I personally do not know how to do it but I think tables would be a good start.

You can also search the forum i found a lot of different ways to do it there. Good Luck

If game.score ≥ game.firstHighest
     change attribute game.firstHighest to game.score
     Else
          if game.score ≥ game.secondHighest
               change attribute game.secondHighest to game.score
               Else
                    if game.score ≥ game.thirdHighest
                         change attribute game.thirdHighest to game.score

Made a template that should help. It does use the Loop behaviour and a Table. So I add in some brief notes to help guide.
Its very simple.

Download Here!

Note: The table has pre-made scores in it. If you want the leaderboard to be empty at the start, simply delete the data in the table rows.

Hope it helps.
Best,
