Get Object Not working with submitiing high scrores.

[HenSoup]

I'm using the Get Object to Submit High Scores but it seems it will not submit hih scores when I press enter.

I set it like that

Left Mouse single click on Enter

Get URL("http://www.hensoupstudios.com/manatee.php?player="+Edittext$( "Edit Box" )+"&score="+Str$(score( "Player 1" ))+"&password=password")

it won't send or use get in any way.

any other way to submit the score?

Flash and EXE and others It works but IOS won't

Thanks for your report. I will look into this ASAP.

[HenSoup]

thanks you sometimes it will send sometimes it will it out or take 5-10 minutes. it could be a glitch I assume.

[HenSoup]

have you looked into this yet? I am publishing my game but I'll also be waiting for this and do a quick update after you fixed this.

I also had some issues with the GET object not sending the request.

Also, when sending multiple GET requests within a short time it stops working.

Problems do not occur in EXE and FLASH environments.

Hi everybody
Sorry for the delay. I about to look into this.

Knpmaster: The GET object was coded to ignore any new requests until the previous one has finished (this is how the C++ and Flash versions work too).
You should always wait for the previous request to finish before starting a new one. If you already do this then it must be a bug.

I will run a stress-test on it as well

Thanks it it much appreciated.

It is possible that the EXE and FLASH versions were just finishing the GET return before a new request. Maybe there should be an option to turn on buffering so this waiting is done behind the scenes and it doesn't lose the request calls. Just a thought.

Can you simply create a new instance of the get object if you need to make subsequent GET calls?

Create the object, make the get call, when response is returned you then delete the get object. Would be nice and tidy, if each instance would know which call was which.

I ported the Get object from either flash or java (can't remember) and it had the same behavior. Maybe it is just because the requests finished so fast in the other runtimes that you didn't run into the problem? I asked Jamie (the creator of the Get object) and he said that is the default behavior.

Its good to know, as I was just about to use Get object for high scores. I also want to use it to send usage data on my games to my site...
