GetScore from Moodle

I am trying to have when students retry an activity they have their current best score displayed as an incentive.

I am struggling to get the GetScore(); value to return the previous highest score attempt from Moodle. The console shows a blank result and the storyline variable keeps coming back blank when I set as text or NaN when I set as a number. 

I have tried varaiations of the following without success, (yes there is a score recorded on the LMS to access).

var lmsAPI = parent;
var player = GetPlayer();
var myScore = GetScore();
console.log("test "+myScore);
player.SetVar("pastscore", myScore);

Does anyone have a simple working version they can share so I can learn from?

try

var myScore = lmsAPI.GetScore();

here is a solution, if lmsAPI not found (if it's not parent)

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/get-lmsapi-in-html5-and-flash-included-ie8

function findLMSAPI(win) {
  if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;
  else if (win.parent == win) return null;
  else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}

var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);

Thanks Jurgen for the reply I have tried your solution without any joy.  I am using Moodle 3.9 as the LMS and have tried both 1.2 and 2004 SCORMS.

This code gives a blank value in the console.log

 

And just this code tells me it isn't a function.

var myScore = lmsAPI.GetScore();
console.log("mm "+myScore);

Sorry obivously doing something basic wrong.

there seems to be a script error in your code -> result: storyline cannot start it -> "is not a function"

you could check your code on https://beautifytools.com/javascript-validator.php

######

whats the result with

console.log( "ID", lmsAPI.GetStudentID() )

this is the result on Scorm Cloud with one of my courses

lmsAPI.GetScore() is always empty - perhaps the score will be never sended ?

here you can see how to debug the communication between course and LMS
