Hello everyone! I’m creating a game called Cubus and I wanted to make a highscore text sprite that saves even after I refresh it because in Cubus, there is a menu for character customisation.  
Could anyone help?

Save the textsprite value as a string in the settings extension then say if Textsprite setting exists then set the rest of your stuff… Hope that helps!

You’ll want to check out the settings extension! It’s in the main menu, gray, and looks like a floppy disk/folder icon. It lets you save information even after the console resets!

use the settings extension! you can create variables with it that persist after the sim refreshes. if you need any more help feel free to ask, but i reccomend fooling around a bit by yrself - it’s harder but more rewarding
