Saving the State of Text in an Array

Hi All,

I've been trying to figure this problem out for about a week now. I'm trying to save the state of text (disabled/enabled) in an array. My problem is that the script that saves and loads my data is in my first scene and then the text that I need to be disabling/enabling is in the next scene. I cant find a way to populate the array with my text from the other scene.

My data is stored in this script along with the array of text (persists through all scenes):

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
2. using System.IO;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class DataManagement : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     public static DataManagement datamanagement;
9.     [Space(10)]
10.     public int currentCoins;
11.     public int totalCoins;        
12.     [Space(10)]
13.     public int currentDistance;
14.     public int totalDistance;
15.     [Space(10)]
16.     public int highScore;
17.     [Space(10)]
18.     public int modelAvailibilty = 1;
19.  
20.     public Text[] pricesText;   //need this array to populate with text from another scene
21.  
22.  
23.     void Awake ()
24.     {
25.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("CharacterSelected"))
26.         {
27.             modelAvailibilty = PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("ModelAvailibilty");
28.         }
29.            
30.         if (datamanagement == null)
31.         {
32.             DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
33.             datamanagement = this;
34.         }
35.  
36.         else if (datamanagement != this)
37.         {
38.             Destroy (gameObject);
39.         }
40.     }
41.  
42.  
43.     public void SaveData ()
44.     {
45.         BinaryFormatter binForm = new BinaryFormatter();
46.         FileStream file = File.Create (Application.persistentDataPath + "/gameInfo.dat");
47.         gameData data = new gameData();
48.         data.highScore = highScore;
49.         data.totalCoins = totalCoins;
50.         data.totalDistance = totalDistance;
51.         data.modelAvailibilty = modelAvailibilty;
52.         data.pricesText = pricesText;
53.         binForm.Serialize (file, data);
54.         file.Close ();
55.     }
56.  
57.  
58.     public void LoadData ()
59.     {
60.         if (File.Exists (Application.persistentDataPath + "/gameInfo.dat"))
61.         {
62.             BinaryFormatter binForm = new BinaryFormatter ();
63.             FileStream file = File.Open (Application.persistentDataPath + "/gameInfo.dat", FileMode.Open);
64.             gameData data = (gameData)binForm.Deserialize (file);
65.             file.Close ();
66.             highScore = data.highScore;
67.             totalCoins = data.totalCoins;
68.             totalDistance = data.totalDistance;
69.             modelAvailibilty = data.modelAvailibilty;
70.             pricesText = data.pricesText;
71.         }
72.     }
73. }
74.  
75.  
76. [Serializable]
77. class gameData
78. {
79.     public int highScore;
80.     public int totalCoins;
81.     public int totalDistance;
82.     public int modelAvailibilty;
83.     public Text[] pricesText;
84.  
85. }

I'm very new to programming so any help is greatly appreciated.
If you need any more info on what I'm trying to accomplish exactly, please let me know!

 

there is a DontDestroyOnLoad method in Unity which prevents gameobjects to be removed from a scene on switching.

 

Yes, I am using that. My problem is that I don't know how to populate an array in one scene with text from another
