Pass data from one scene to the next

Hi
I have built a simple voting screen for videos in my app. However I am stuck on how to pass the video ID to the voting scene. What is the most efficient way to do this?
thanks

 

am going to use playerprefs unless i am told that is a really bad idea!

 

There are a couple of ways.
My preferred way is using scriptable objects.
You can also use gameobjects that don't destroy on scene change (with DontDestroyOnLoad)
You can also store data in static fields in classes.

It's not a really bad idea, it's just a little bit bad idea.
You have to use String in PlayerPrefs which is error prone and doesn't scale well. But if you're only using it one time, it's ok.

 

Static variables or a GameObject set to DontDestroyOnLoad are the two easiest. PlayerPrefs is for saving data between game sessions, not between scenes, though it can work.

 

'Doesn't scale well' is bad idea when you're planning on creating a large project.

 

thanks all
