Question
Hello everybody! I have a question, I have been working on my game where you can play Ultimate Tic Tac Toe or Simple Tic Tac Toe and I'm nearly done! So basically I have been working on a function where if you win or lose the game, it updates in my "stats.cfg" file and I have been working on it for a while, but the code has not been seeming to update at all when winning or losing, and it's getting frustrating cuz i've been troubleshooting it for about 2 days now... And the Output updates the code it seems like but doesn't update my stats file... Anyone have any ideas?
Heres the video to show whats happening
Here is my StatsPopUp.gd code that is what loads my .cfg file:
extends Popup
var stats: Dictionary = {} # To store the stats
var stats_file_path = "user://Stats.cfg" # Use consistent filename
func _ready():
load_stats() # Load stats when ready
display_stats() # Display stats on the label
# Connect the reset button signal if not already connected
if not $ResetButton.is_connected("pressed", Callable(self, "_on_ResetButton_pressed")):
$ResetButton.connect("pressed", Callable(self, "_on_ResetButton_pressed"))
func load_stats():
var file = FileAccess.open(stats_file_path, FileAccess.READ) # Use consistent file name
if file:
stats.clear() # Clear current stats before loading new ones
while not file.eof_reached():
var line = file.get_line()
if line.begins_with("["):
continue # Skip section headers
var key_value = line.split("=")
if key_value.size() == 2:
stats[key_value[0].strip_edges()] = int(key_value[1].strip_edges())
file.close()
else:
print("Failed to open stats file for reading.")
func display_stats():
var stats_text = "--WON--\n"
stats_text += "Ultimate Tic Tac Toe AI Won: %d\n" % stats.get("Ultimate_Tic_Tac_Toe_AI_Won", 0)

stats_text += "Simple Tic Tac Toe Lost: %d\n" % stats.get("Simple_Tic_Tac_Toe_Lost", 0)

if file:
