Highscore PLEASE HELP

Hi, I've been searching and posting threads for weeks but I still cannot get my highscore to work. All I simply want to do is in my game over menu, if the score is larger than the best score, then set the score to the best score and save the value for when the player closes and reopens the game. Here is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to work:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class Highscore : MonoBehaviour {
6.    
7.     public Text scoreText;
8.     public float score;
9.     public Text highscoreText;
10.    
11.     // Use this for initialization
12.     void Start () {
13.        
14.         scoreText.text = "Score: " + score.ToString();
15.        
16.     }
17.    
18.     // Update is called once per frame
19.     void Update () {
20.        
21.         highscoreText.text = "Best: " + PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore");
22.        
23.     }
24.    
25.     void StoreHighscore(int newHighscore)
26.     {
27.         int oldHighscore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore", 0);  
28.         if(newHighscore > oldHighscore)
29.         {
30.             PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highscore", newHighscore);
31.             highscoreText = scoreText;
32.         }
33.     }
34. }

 

Where do you declare / set newHighscore? Shouldn't you be using score instead?

 

Honestly, I don't know. I'm not an experienced developer and I'm 14 years old. I can get everything else in my game working except this so I'd really appreciate someone to help me figure this out. I'd be very grateful. Are you able to take this script and edit it and then tell me exactly where I should put the script etc. At the moment I just have it in an empty game object...

P.S. My game is an android application.

 

I have two labels, when the scoreText.text is bigger than the highscoreText.text label, I want the highscoreText.text to be the same as scoreText.text. I also want to save the highscore for when the player exits the game they won't lose their best score.

 

You need to compare your 2 ints & if the score is higher than the old high score then set old high score to equal the score. Then save it to the player prefs & show it on screen. The text just displays your ints so you actually set the Int value, not the text value

 

Yeah but how...?

 

In your code where you have (if newHighSxore>oldHighScore) put oldHighScore= newHighScore then only ever display the oldHighScore as the high score value. Something like that should work, or if you are only storing the high score & the players score then it will be
If (score>high score) high score=score.

 

Ok thanks, can you help me out with my other thread I'm really struggling with this one
