Save Games Help

Hi everyone, me again asking yet another question about Eos.

I'm pretty much finished my first tease, but the last thing I need to do is store stuff across multiple sessions.
I've got several point values, and in my initial script, everything starts at 0. I want to be able to save their value across sessions so that when you exit the tease and go back in, they don't reset to 0 again.

I'm totally lost with actually doing it though, I've looked at the tutorials and through the forums but I can't seem to find an answer.

Probably just missing relatively simple though right?

Hope one of you can help!

1. Options -> Storage -> On

Init Script, for each variable -

var userTutorialcomplete = teaseStorage.getItem('tutorialcomplete');

replace userTutorialcomplete with the name of your variable, and set tutorialcomplete to something else - I like to use the same word but with user in front for simplicities sake.

Then when you set the variable in the tease with an eval clause, e.g.

userTutorialcomplete = 1

Then have a new eval clause (can use the same one I think, but I like it seperate) saying

teaseStorage.setItem('tutorialcomplete', userTutorialcomplete)

And that (mostly) works for me!

Thanks for your help. I think I get it. Just want to check a couple of things before I go ahead and do it.

So my initial script at the moment looks something like this:

value1 = 0
value2 = 0
value3 = 0

Would it be ok to replace it with:

var value1A = teaseStorage.getItem('value1');
var value2A = teaseStorage.getItem('value2');
var value3A = teaseStorage.getItem('value3');

Or would it be the other way around?

var value1 = teaseStorage.getItem('value1A');
var value2 = teaseStorage.getItem('value2A');
var value3 = teaseStorage.getItem('value3A');

Then, if I want to save these values only on a certain page, rather than when they are changed or set, would I use:

teaseStorage.setItem('value1', value1A)

or

teaseStorage.setItem('value1A', value)

on that page?

I hope this makes sense.
Sorry for the extended questions, just want to get it right!

Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

Pretty certain I'm doing it right. Is there any way to test that this part works before publishing? Or do I have to trust I've done it correctly?

Thanks again!

Load the tease in a seperate browser, open the share link (on the left hand side) and test it

I think you need to do this to have your value at to 0 the first time the user plays

var value1 = teaseStorage.getItem('value1A') || 0;

[intermolecularpyro]

Awesome, it seems to work fine.

Thank you both for your help!
