Question by TemplateR · Oct 16, 2014 at 07:53 PM · variablesmenustaticglobal

Changing static variables from another script?

Hello,

how can I change a static variable from another script? I would like to have an Option-Menu, where you can change like the amount of an ammo (for a little shooting Game).

Here is my script (called global) for the static variable of the ammo:

 #pragma strict
 static var ammo : int = 5;
 static var obstacleCount : int;

Does anyone have a solution?

How it will look like, when I use an input field or something else?

@TemplateR,

         global.ammo = GUI.TextField (Rect (10, 10, 200, 20), global.ammo, 25);

Here is my Option-Script, which I have an Error:

  global.ammo = GUI.TextField (Rect (10, 10, 200, 20), global.ammo,10);
  
  if (GUI.Button(Rect(10,10,200,20),"Spiel starten"))
  Application.LoadLevel("$$anonymous$$iShooter");



The Error is:

No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.GUI.TextField' for the argument list '(UnityEngine.Rect, int, int)' was found.

you need to convert your ammo, of type int, to a string, TextField arguments are (UnityEngine.Rect, string, int).

So change your code to:

 global.ammo = Convert.ToInt32(GUI.TextField (Rect (10, 10, 200, 20), global.ammo.ToString(),10));
 

I'll be honest with you though, if text, alpha characters, non-numeric characters are entered, it will throw an exception. You may want to use a temporary variable that holds the conversion. If you don't need to update the variable in the textfield and it's for display, use a label, which is read only. You will still need to .ToString() the ammo because the expectation is a string not an int.

I have an another error:

$$anonymous$$ identifier: 'Convert'.
