Passing variables while scripting

Hi All,

I'm new to Unity and coding, so I was hoping to get some help. Below is a Game Manager script I've written at this point it's just to track score and time. What I want to is be able to calc a final score taking the score minus the time it took. However, the way it's setup write now, I don't know how to get the value of currentScore into my Update method. Can anyone provide some guidance?

Thanks!

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3.  
4. public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public int currentScore;
7.     public Text scoreText;
8.     public Text timerText;
9.     private float startTime;
10.     private float timer;
11.     // Start is called before the first frame update
12.     void Start()
13.     {
14.         startTime = Time.time;
15.     }
16.  
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.         timer = Time.time - startTime;
21.         timerText.text = "Time: " + (int)timer;
22.     }
23.     public void AddScore(int scoreToAdd) {
24.         currentScore += scoreToAdd;
25.         scoreText.text = "Score: " + currentScore;
26.     }
27. }
28.  

 

Create a new

public int finalScore

then put

finalScore = currentScore - (int)timer;

in Update.

 

perfect, thanks!
