How to save score automatically?

Hey everyone i was just wondering how to save a score automatically. I have the high score display and rules all set up, but the only way i can figure out how to save is to use an actor with a save attribute and when clicked on it, it saves. How do you save automatically?

Wherever you are increasing the score, just add a Save Attribute behavior after that.

i.e:

Rule
When all conditions are valid
Actor overlaps or collides with Actor of type coin
-----Change Attribute: game.score To game.score + 10
-----Save Attribute: game.score to key: SCORE

Put that behavior anywhere you add.subtract from the score.

Then in the first Scene of the game, maybe the logo scene?, add a Load Attribute behavior to one of the Actors, like this:

Load Attribute: game.score from key: SCORE

thanks that really helped. i think the main problem with my game is that there is too many unnecessary rules. but this should really come in handy in future games
