In the event of a high score tie...

I can't seem to figure this one out.. I'm using the High Score object and my only problem is that in the event of tie score, the new score does not drop the old score down the list and take it's spot..

for instance.. Hi score on the HS list is 1000 and belongs to "Joe"

"Frank" Scores a 1000 as well, I want "Frank" to be the new number 1 and "Joe" then drops to number 2 on the list. I can't seem to find an option for this. By default it appears that "Frank" will only become the number 2 player and "Joe" remains as the number one. I need ties in the score to drop the old player down the list.. Is this possible?

You can make a custom high score table. You would have to code the sorting, but you can definitely check if a score is >= to an existing score. You might try looking at the List object, since I beleive it can sort its contents (although it might only be set up for strings). Otherwise, you can store scores as variables and sort them manually.

bummer, I was hoping to get an easier answer..

I wrote an example for sorting numbers using the bubble sort method.

Bubble sorting compares one line at a time to the line below it and swaps their places if the current line is lower than the one below it.

To make it do as you want, you would have to add some sort of ID when a score is added and in the event of a tie, move the score with the newest (highest) ID to the top.

Chris, I looked at your bubblesort.. I'm not an expert at this stuff by any means. I spent all day trying to sort out some type of method. Your Bubblesort is above my skill level at this point. I see how it works, but I don't know how to modify it for the event of a tie. Also, how would you sort and keep the names properly attached to the scores. I wish this was just a simple tick option in the HS object. As it stands it puts the scores below in the event of a tie which I don't really understand why. The problem is whoever gets a max score will never get bumped. I unfortunetly really need this to finish off my project. I tried to write my own HS table but I get tripped up by the sorting. If anyone can help with a sample code that would be wonderful. Thank you..
