Question How to make a Timer Highscore

Hi I am doing a game where you move as a ball and go to next levels as fast as possible. I want to make a highscore system where you have a time and everytime you go to a next scene the timer stays the same as it was last scene and continues,eventually when you finish the last scene you will enter a highscore scene which lets you put your name in and the time saves right next to your name. I have no idea how to do this because I am really new to Unity. Can someone help?

This is my code for the timer.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. [ExecuteInEditMode]
7. public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     public Text timerText;
10.     public int startingSeconds;
11.  
12.     private float elapsedTime;
13.  
14.     // Use this for initialization
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.         elapsedTime = 0.0f;
18.         UpdateTimerText();
19.     }
20.  
21.     // Update is called once per frame
22.     void Update()
23.     {
24.         elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
25.         UpdateTimerText();
26.     }
27.  
28.     void UpdateTimerText()
29.     {
30.         int timeInSeconds = (int)(elapsedTime % 60);
31.         int minutes = 0;
32.         int remainingSeconds = startingSeconds + timeInSeconds;
33.         if (startingSeconds >= 60)
34.         {
35.             minutes = (int)((startingSeconds + timeInSeconds) / 60);
36.             remainingSeconds -= (minutes * 60);
37.         }
38.         timerText.text = minutes.ToString() + ":" + remainingSeconds.ToString().PadLeft(2, '0');
39.     }
40. }

 

Start with some basic Youtube video tutorials for making local leaderboards. It's not something anyone here is going to retype for you as it is at least a few hours of steps and work and setup and debugging.

Once you have the scene / UI setup (there are thousands of videos teaching that), this is the meat and potatoes of high score / low time storage:

Tracking simple high score / low time single-entry leaderboard:

For the highest score: https://pastebin.com/VmngEK05

Usage:

Code (csharp):

1. TheBest.RecordScoreIfHigher( lastGamePlayScore);

For the lowest time: https://pastebin.com/A7GC76uQ

Usage:

Code (csharp):

1. TheBest.RecordTimeIfLower( lastGamePlayTime);

To retrieve the best score or time, use one of these:

Code (csharp):

1. int bestScore = TheBest.BestScore;

Code (csharp):

1. float bestTime = TheBest.BestTime;
