High Score Keeps Reseting JS

Hi there, I have a script here that upon starting the game, it displays the previous high score. When the current score exceeds the high score, it will replace it with that. However, when the game starts, the high score is there, but when a single point is scored, it automatically resets it to the current score. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. import UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. var CurrentScore : float;
6. var CurrentScoreText : Text;
7. var HighScore : float;
8. var HighScoreText : Text;
9.  
10.  
11. function Update ()
12. {
13.    
14.     var HighDisplay = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("HighScore_Save", HighScore);
15.     CurrentScoreText.text = "" + CurrentScore;
16.     HighScoreText.text = "" + HighDisplay;
17.  
18.     if (CurrentScore > HighScore)
19.     {
20.         HighScore = CurrentScore;
21.         PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("HighScore_Save", HighScore);
22.     }
23.    
24. }

 

Not sure about UnityScript but I"ll take a crack at it.

Line 14 I don't think you need to use HighScore.
Line 18 I think u need to compare CurrentScore > HighDisplay instead.

Otherwise, everything else should work.

Apologies if I don't get it right on the first crack.

 

legendz25 is correct. Your GetFloat should look like this:
var HighDisplay = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("HighScore_Save");

...unless you want to show a default value for HighDisplay if a value hasn't been stored yet for HighScore_Save in player prefs. Then you can use the following, where you replace (or keep) 0 with the default value you want to display:
var HighDisplay = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("HighScore_Save", 0);

Also, a tip: As an alternative of doing CurrentScoreText.text = "" + CurrentScore; you can instead do CurrentScoreText.text = CurrentScore.ToString();

 

Thanks guys, I got it to work. Here's my new code. You've all been really helpful.

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. import UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. var CurrentScore : float;
6. var CurrentScoreText : Text;
7. var HighScore : float;
8. var HighScoreText : Text;
9.  
10.  
11. function Update ()
12. {
13.    
14.     var HighDisplay = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("HighScore_Save", HighScore);
15.     CurrentScoreText.text = "" + CurrentScore;
16.     HighScoreText.text = "" + HighDisplay;
17.  
18.     if (CurrentScore > HighDisplay)
19.     {
20.         HighScore = CurrentScore;
21.         PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("HighScore_Save", HighScore);
22.     }
23.    
24. }
