With the ability to upload new images to teases currently off the table, I have been unable to develop my tease further outside of improving how the base mechanics function. The final thing on my list to work on now, that isn't adding more content, is sorting out the teaseStorage so that player progress is saved when the tease is closed and reopened.

I have not done this before so would appreciate some assistance from someone that has.

The way I currently understand it is simply to set values and then get values. But knowing how to implement this properly is where my lack of experience is hindering me.

My tease works in a Rogue-Like fashion, so that the player completes multiple runs before getting strong enough through meta progression to take on the final boss of the tease. The player goes into battle and fights enemies, earning gold and experience, but also purchasing potions to increase stats that only effect the current run, with exp being spent on permanent stat increases.

I have a system that works where current-run stats get reset at the end of a run, but permanent stat increases are counted and used to calculate starting stats on a new run.

If I wanted to save progress during a run, I assume I would want to use teaseStorage.setItem() to save the values for Day, Time, Player Health, Gold, Exp etc after a battle or after a shop purchase.

Would I need to run a bunch of teaseStorage.getItem() to retrieve these values on the Start page? to essentially load the player into the state they were in the last time the game "saved"?

var spacerString=teaseStorage.getItem("spS")||"B239";

If you have a lot of variables, you may consider some optimization of the code to reduce the number of saved variables, but as an initial just try and see how it works.

Just remember to give a default value for a load:

Code: Select all

var spacerString=teaseStorage.getItem("spS")||"B239";

This code loads the variable named spS in the spaceString variable; if the value is not found, it assigns it the default value "B239"

Attempt = 0;
Health = 100;
Max_Health = 100;
Gold = 0;
Exp = 0;
Stamina = 100;
Max_Stamina = 100;
Day = 1;
Time = 9;

var Attempt=teaseStorage.getItem("Atm")||"0";
var Health=teaseStorage.getItem("H")||"100";
var Max_Health=teaseStorage.getItem("MH")||"100";
var Gold=teaseStorage.getItem("G")||"0";
var Exp=teaseStorage.getItem("XP")||"0";
var Stamina=teaseStorage.getItem("Sta")||"100";
var Max_Stamina=teaseStorage.getItem("MSta")||"100";
var Day=teaseStorage.getItem("D")||"1";
var Time=teaseStorage.getItem("T")||"9";

My initial script currently assigns values like this:

Code: Select all

Attempt = 0;
Health = 100;
Max_Health = 100;
Gold = 0;
Exp = 0;
Stamina = 100;
Max_Stamina = 100;
Day = 1;
Time = 9;

Would I need to change these to look like this:

Code: Select all

var Attempt=teaseStorage.getItem("Atm")||"0";
var Health=teaseStorage.getItem("H")||"100";
var Max_Health=teaseStorage.getItem("MH")||"100";
var Gold=teaseStorage.getItem("G")||"0";
var Exp=teaseStorage.getItem("XP")||"0";
var Stamina=teaseStorage.getItem("Sta")||"100";
var Max_Stamina=teaseStorage.getItem("MSta")||"100";
var Day=teaseStorage.getItem("D")||"1";
var Time=teaseStorage.getItem("T")||"9";

If I'm understanding correctly, it should then get these values from Storage and if there is no value set, it will set them to the initial value as normal? And then I can run a check that says if Attempt > 0 load direct to the main page and skip the intro? or something similar to that.

	var Exp=teaseStorage.getItem("XP")||0;
	var Name=teaseStorage.getItem("name")||"Hero";

	Health = 100;

	Health=teaseStorage.getItem("H")||Health;

I have read on the forums that other people have had trouble hitting max storage space, so I know there is a limit, hence the Storage variable names being abbreviations of the actual variable, so I plan on having 1-2 character variable names in the storage and having a key on my notepad to know what the matching names are.

My final question would be, does this work through the preview link I have sent out for people to test? As in would I be able to test that this is working without publishing the tease?

After I reupload the tease, score get back to 0 for exemple.

What you can do is implement a way to export/import data. It's not super difficult to implement but it depends a lot on the quantity and type of variables you want ot include.

No I mean I've made a tease with an introduction. When complete, the introduction skip into a menu when you do the tease again. But I have make some changes on the tease and upload it again like a v1.2. After that when I come back on the tease I don't have acces anymore, I have to do the intro again.

I think when you upload again the same tease, it keep the same url. So I don't understand why everything in the teasestorage get back to default

EDIT: My bad I must be stupid. I think I just wasn't login
