  1. I have found a more optimal way, I have made it into a function with the input being the enemy blueprint and the text, so now I only need 1 node to show the text.

  2. This is an example of how I am currently spawning the text. I need to find a more optimal way to do it without taking that much space.

  3. This is the part that spawns the text, I just assign the amount to display and that's it.

  4. I have made a way of showing visual scoring feedback by showing the player the amount of points he has won by killing certain enemies. (This is a new blueprint that will be spawned when an enemy dies.)

  1. There has been a slight miscalculation on my part, not both remaining enemies are awarded 1000 points, only the last remaining enemy.

  2. I have created 2 nodes that will take the inputs and convert them into what is necessary in order to change the score.

  3. I have made it possible to get the scores from previous runs, get the latest scores and then rearrange them so you can input your own score.

  4. I have made it possible to change the initials of the players as well on the leaderboard

  5. I have iterated upon the save event and I have made it so it can register names as well

  6. I have made an event that saves the high scores onto the device

  1. I have made a way to show the scores on the leaderboard

  2. I have made it possible to get the scores, and save them, as well as I have fixed the issue with the Game Instance returning 0. (It was because I wasn't saving before advancing)

  3. I have tried to get the score from the Game Instance for the leaderboard however it simply returns 0 for the score and I don't rely know what might be causing this.

  1. I forgot to add this iteration few days ago.
    This is the working part that awards the score besaed on the type of enemy using switches.

January 1, 2023

  1. I have also iterated on the previous death events I have made, now once the player loses all lives it will also update the HighScore.

  2. Previous iteration didn't work, I didn't know what was wrong so I added a string to avoid typos and saved the game at the end, at first it didn't seem to work, but I then realized I'm setting the highscore at the end of the stage, not when I leave.

  3. I have made a way to save the HighScore onto the computer to register it for future runs.

  4. Here I am checking if the player has beaten the HighScore, if he did, then the HighScore will change to be the same as the score.

  5. I have made this because the variables reset when loading a new level, therefore I am saving the score in a game instance and getting it at the beginning of the next stage.

December 30, 2022

  1. First attempt to award points per enemy type. (Mid way I realized I can use a switch instead)

  2. I have added a new input to the event dispatcher which is the enemy state, so I can get if the enemy is small therefore worth less, or escaping which is worth more points

  3. First commit

    The first implementation is getting the score from the game instance
