query regarding $save

[Sheharyar Ahmed]

Hello to the Team classEx.

I am working to design a customized experiment.

I have calculated profit as

$profit=$benefit-$cost;

it is calculated perfectly. Now I want the aggregate profit to be displayed to the group for which i proceeded in the following manner.

first i saved the variable using $save("profit",$profit,$round);

then i use 

$sum_profit=$findGroupSum('profit',$round,$includingOwn=true); to calculate the sum of profits by all members of the group.

The problem is that it adds the value of profit player by player and does not display the aggregate value (same value for all).

i hope my query is clear.

Any lead in this regard will be appreciated

Best Regards

Dear Ahmed,

did you make sure that the save function and findGroupSum are on different stages. Otherwise it may lead to conflicts as functions may be executed simultaneously.

Best, Marcus
