I have tried to test Load\Save Attribute in GS Viewer and it seems it dosen't work. It should properly only in ad hoc?

    You can test load and save in the creator as well as the viewer by clicking the refresh icon in the preview window of the creator. That refresh is the same as exiting and reopening the app.

    Make sure you are saving the attribute AFTER it changes, also check to make sure that the keyword is the same in both the load and save.

    Look at first shots of video in HD, you can see all game logic. I also tried to make a version where I load attribute on separate scene, same result.

    hmm try putting the save attribute behavior in a timer every 0 seconds inside the mouse is down rule. I remember having a problem like that a while ago and that fixed it, but since then the issue has been resolved and it works without the timer. Wont hurt to try though

    So iam trying to see if the level unlock system save attribute saves the game state when you exit the game.I tried it on the viewer but it dosent seem to work.How can i see if its saving the last highest level completed so when the user comes back they can start where they left off?

    Hey John,

    Build your game on your device, also known as an adhoc.

    Tshirtbooth has a great tutorials series for it, search it up on his website: www.gshelper.com

    Hey John,

    Check Above I just merged in the thread on how to test save an load attributes that discussed yesterday.

    It can actually be done from the creators preview if you are not ready for testing on device yet.

    you would probably be correct. you need to make sure you are saving an attribute to begin wit and make sure the key you save it to matches exactly how your are loading it. Also Make sure you run the viewer or preview from the menu screen or where ever the attributes load from. otherwise the rules will never run.

    Hope that helps
