How do I acces GetInt out of the "main thread"

Questions & Answers

I get this error: GetInt can only be called from the main thread.
Constructors and field initializers will be executed from the loading thread when loading a scene.
Don’t use this function in the constructor or field initializers, instead move initialization code to the Awake or Start function.

#pragma strict

guiText.fontSize=Screen.width/25;
var highscore:int=PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore",0);
function Update(){
	PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highscore",highscore);
	guiText.text=highscore.ToString();
	if(score>highscore){
		highscore=score;
	}
}

I don’t actually use “score” but I just wanted to show the code logic.

Do what the error message says, move the initialisation into start.

var highscore : int

function Start (){
    highscore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore",0);
}

The error should bring you to this line :

var highscore:int = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore",0);

Call the function from within a function. The error message tells you what to do : instead move initialization code to the Awake or Start function.

var highscore:int = 0;

function Start() {
    highscore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highscore",0);
}

I would consider a better method than setting the PlayerPrefs every update. Consider calling a function to assign score to PlayerPrefs once at the end of the players session (or if the app has been quit, paused, etc).
