Values

Is there a way to store a value inside of a game object and access that value via script? If not, what is the best way to go about something like this?

 

You can have a script that has values of Float, Int, String and you can access it from another GameObject or Script.

Script 1:

Code (csharp):

1. public float myFloat = 1f;
2. public int myInt = 1;
3. public string myString = "This is my string";

If you have another script and you know the GameObject you can either reference it via public declaration or just Find the GameObject.

Code (csharp):

1. GameObject.Find("MyObject").GetComponent<MyValueScript>().myFloat = 2f;
2. GameObject.Find("MyObject").GetComponent<MyValueScript>().myInt = 1;
3. GameObject.Find("MyObject").GetComponent<MyValueScript>().myString = "This is my new updated string";

Those values are updated and stored for the duration of the applications run-time.

Saving those and loading them in another instance is a whole other objective.
