Hi there,
I am creating my first game and want to add a timer to it and it worked but when i now try to save the Time via PlayerPrefs it dosnt work. This is the first time I’am using PlayerPrefs so I really need help to understand it.
The code for the Timer:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class SafeBestTime : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text timer;
    public Text finishedTime;

    public float timeStart;

    public bool IsNotPaused = true;
    public bool GameIsCom;
    void Start()
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("TheBestTime", timeStart);
    }
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))
        {
            ResetBestTime();
        }
        if (IsNotPaused)
        {
            timeStart += Time.deltaTime;
            timer.text = timeStart.ToString("F2");
        }
        if (GameIsCom)
        {
            SafeTime();
        }
    }
    void SafeTime()
    {
        if (timeStart > PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("TheBestTime", timeStart))
        {
            PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("TheBestTime", timeStart);
            Debug.Log(PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("TheBestTime", timeStart));
            PlayerPrefs.Save();
            finishedTime.text = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("TheBestTime", timeStart).ToString();
        }
    }
    void ResetBestTime()
    {
        PlayerPrefs.DeleteKey("TheBestTime");
    }
}

So you almost have it correct. When you run the script, in Start, you are setting that PlayerPref to whatever timeStart float value is. Then, in your SafeTime function, you are checking to see if timeStart is GreaterThan that PlayerPref. However, it will never be since you basically asking if timeStart is > timeStart since that is what you set the PlayerPref to in Start.

Change your PlayerPref in Start from SetFloat to GetFloat. You only want to Set the PlayerPref in your SafeTime, which you do. But as it stands, it will never reach that due to the reason i mentioned above.

I hope that makes sense.
