Question Trouble with a Static Int used as a variable in an Argument for a Smart String

Hello, I'm having problems with a Static Int, with a {get; set;} , that I'm using to save a highscore, and then using that Static Int when trying to update a Smart String (with said score).

I have a script that accepts a normal int value, and it works, but when I try to assign my static int, it no longer works.

Is this is a limit of localisation or of static ints? I've looked into converting a static int to an int (because I just need this script tor read that score, not change it), but the posts I've seen are not relevant, or speak of changing the value.

Here's an example of my code below.

Code (CSharp):

1. public static HighscoreScript Instance { get; private set; }
2.     [SerializeField] public LocalizedString localStringScore;
3.     [SerializeField] public Text highscoreText;
4.     private int highscoreNumber;
5.  
6.  
7.  
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         Instance = this;
11.         highscoreNumber = SaveStore.Highscore ;
12.         UpdateHighscoreText();
13.     }
14.  
15.     private void OnEnable()
16.     {
17.         localStringScore.Arguments = new object[] { highscoreNumber };
18.         localStringScore.StringChanged += UpdateText;
19.     }
20.     private void OnDisable()
21.     {
22.         localStringScore.StringChanged -= UpdateText;
23.     }
24.  
25.     private void UpdateText(string value)
26.     {
27.         highscoreText.text = value;
28.     }
29.     public void UpdateHighscoreText()
30.     {
31.         localStringScore.Arguments[0] = highscoreNumber;
32.         localStringScore.RefreshString();
33.  
34.     }

 

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the quick response!

When I said it didn't work, you were correct in assuming that the value was being changed after Start. I had a previous line that loaded the value from PlayerPrefs, so I thought that should have loaded.

For now, I've moved the definition into public void UpdateHighscoreText() and it now works perfectly (updates the values and the string).

I'll also take a look at the packages you've linked too.

Thanks again for your help!
