      set the cHiScore of fld "alltimehighScorefld" to fld "alltimehighScorefld" 
      set the cHiScoreName of fld "alltimehighScoreName" to fld "alltimehighScoreName"
      put  the cHiScoreName of fld "alltimehighScoreName" after fld "showHiScores"
      put space& the cHiScore of fld "alltimehighScorefld" &cr after fld "showHiScores" 

Code: Select all

-- keep track of each player's score in an array
put 23456 into tScoresArray["Jon]
put 34345 into tScoresArray["Fred"]
put 12875 into tScoresArray["Sue"]

--then when you're ready to display the scores

combine tScoresArray using cr and space
sort tScoresArray descending by item 2 of each
put tScoresArray into field "showHiScores"

Code: Select all

## We take this for lineoffset -> playername & SPACE
put the cHiScoreName of fld "alltimehighScoreName" & SPACE into tPlayer

## Create new entry
put tPlayer & the cHiScore of fld "alltimehighScorefld" into tNewHiScoreLine

## Put field content into variable, always faster than using the field itself!
put fld "showHiScores" into tList

## Now we check if this player already has an entry, will of course only work fine with unique names!
put lineoffset(tPlayer,tList) into tOldLine

## tOldLine will now contain 0 if the player does not have an entry yet or the line NUMBER of the old entry in the list, so we can simply replace that line!
if tOldLine = 0 then

  ## We append that new hiscore in this case
  put CR & tNewHiScoreLine AFTER tList
else

  ## We simplyreplace the old line
   put tNewHiScoreLine INTO line tOldLine of tList
end if
put tList into fld "showHiScores"
