I asked this question on reddit but it seems to be a Playmaker issue.
I have 4 game modes. Each of the 4 game modes has its own separate high score system with its own separate Global Variables set up like this:
Current Score: INT (value goes up as player kills enemies)
Current Score: String (to show the player their score)
Best Score: String
Best Score: INT
After the player chooses their game mode and level the level is loaded, an empty game object calls Playerpref Get Int to get the current Best Score value. When the player dies or when they finish the objective (depending on the game mode) the Current score INT is compared to the Best Score INT and if the current score is higher, we set a new high score using a Set INT Value action.
From there I call a Playerpref Set Int action to save the new Best Score and we transition to a Game Over screen.
Problem 1: Each Playerpref has a different key and interacts with a different Gloabal Variable. Again, there are 4 separate values that need to be saved (one high score for each game mode). However, my Playerprefs seem to be interfering with one another. So if I save a high score in Game Mode 1, the Playerpref seems to set that same value as the high score for all game modes, even though they use different keys.
I experimented by setting the high score values for one of the game modes to use a Float value instead of an Int. When I did this, the score for that game mode was not overwritten.
The issue seems to be that the Playerpref has a problem keeping track of more than 1 value of the same type (INT/Float). If I try to save the value of 1 high score it overwrites the value of all high scores.
Is this a limitation of Playmaker or am I doing something wrong?
Problem 2: When testing the game on PC and Android my PLayerpref values do not save when I close the game. When I start the game back up all of my scores have been reset.
