How to use my score

Code (csharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class Score : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     public Text scoreText;
10.     public int score;
11.     // Start is called before the first frame update
12.     void Start()
13.     {
14.      
15.     }
16.  
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.         scoreText.text = "Clicks" + score;
21.  
22.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
23.         {
24.             score++;
25.         }
26.     }
27. }
28.  

how can i reference the score in another scene. if i want to have the score of clicks shown in the next scene how could i do this? thanks for any help

Please use code tags... you can edit your message with edit button.

You can use a script in GameObject that you set to DontDestroyOnLoad - this way you can have this object + its script persist even if scene loads.

You can use PlayerPrefs to save and load the value.

You can use any other available C# or Unity serialization method to save and load your data.

 

thanks for your help

 

So for me to reference or show the score on another scene do i just use the same script in new scene and it will show me the same score? or do i need to make a new object/script that will have the variable of scoretext? im still really confused sorry if im being a pain with easy Questions

 

You can use a global static variable to keep track of your score. Some people will say not to do this, and they are right is some circumstances, but it works fine for a simple game.
I have a SCENE object that runs a SR_Scene script. That script declares global static variables ....

Code (CSharp):

1. public static class Global
2.     {
3.         public static int GameDifficulty = 3; //0 = easy, 1 normal, 2 difficult, 3 insane
4.         public static bool FriendlyFire = false;
5.         public static int CurrentLevel = 0; //level player is on, to track/increase difficulty
6.         public static bool LevelCleared = true;
7. }

Later in the scene script you can access those value like this for example to increase the CurrentLevel .... Global.CurrentLevel++;
Other scripts will have to access the Scene script to get or set these variables.
Example for a script on an enemy spaceship OnEnable() ...

Code (CSharp):

1. if (SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty > 0)
2.             {
3.                 //they get faster
4.                 MaxSpeed += SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty;
5.                 if(MaxSpeed > SR_Scene.Global.MaxPlayerSpeed) { MaxSpeed = SR_Scene.Global.MaxPlayerSpeed; }
6.                 //and stronger
7.                 MaxHull += + SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty;
8.                 if (MaxHull > SR_Scene.Global.MaxHull) { MaxHull = SR_Scene.Global.MaxHull; }
9.                 CurrentHull = MaxHull;
10.                 //and shoot faster
11.                 GunCoolRate += SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty * 0.01f;
12.                 if(GunCoolRate > MaxGunCoolRate)
13.                 {
14.                     GunCoolRate = MaxGunCoolRate;
15.                 }
16.             }

In every script that calls the static globals you need to define the scene script like this.

Code (CSharp):

1. //declare up top of the enemy script
2. private GameObject SceneController;
3. private SR_Scene SceneScript;
4.  
5. //define in the awake function of enemy script
6. SceneController = GameObject.FindWithTag("GameController");
7. SceneScript = SceneController.GetComponent<SR_Scene>();
