How to save player stats

[wozzsta 16]

Hi guys, 

 

I'm trying to figure out how to save my users money variable so when they connect/disconnect it will remember their cash amount. I don't care about position, health, load-out etc.... just the money variable. 

 

Also don't care if it is stored locally or on the server, server is obviously preferable but it doesn't matter really. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Hi wozzsta, try this to save the amount of cash

profileNamespace setVariable ["cash", _cash]

retrieve cash with getVariable like this

private _cash = profileNamespace getVariable ["cash", 0]

I hope this helps,

Thanks Nikander,  

 

Where would i add that code? 

 

In the Init.sqf?

Maybe you should try and add it in the script that you use to handle all the other cash transactions ?

 

Just a suggestion,

put this in your initPlayerLocal.sqf , its a simple method saving variable using profilenamespace, and check this out

private ["_player"];

_player =_this select 0;


waitUntil {!isNull _player}; 

if (isNil {profileNamespace getVariable "char_money"}) then { // if profilenamespace doesn't find your variable it creates as 0
	profileNamespace setVariable ["char_money", 0];
};

_profile = (profileNamespace getVariable "char_money"); // Gets your save

_player setVariable ["char_money", _profile]; // loads it

// make a loop to save your profilenamespace or from a addaction like this.
_player addAction ["Save Money",{
	_player =_this select 0; 
	_money = (_player getVariable "char_money");
	profileNamespace setVariable ["char_money", _money];
}];
