Code design issue
Hello! How do i best pass a class down as a reference to other classes? Say i have a main class that handles game over, restart game etc... How do i pass a reference to it to another class that make use of these methods? I now have a gui class that handles if the player chooses to restart or go back to the main menu. This class needs access to the main class, right now the gui class just finds the gameobject containing the main class but i want something cleaner like a constructor but they dont work well with monobehaviour apparently....
Just like the suggestion above, only without having to keep a reference in each game object...

Implement the singleton pattern in your GameManager, it will be more useful this way. And less clunky.
The Unity way would be in your UI class to have a reference to the GameManager, and then drag it in via the inspector. Essentially something like this:
Public class GameUI : Monobehaviour
{
//reference the game manager
public GameManager gm;
public void UpdateScore()
{
score.Text = gm.GetScore();
}
}
GameManager.cs
using UnityEngine;
public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour {
public void GameOver() {
Debug.Log("game over")
}
}
PlayerScript.cs
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameManager gm;
public int playerHealth = 3;
void Update()
{
if (playerHealth == 0) {
gm.GameOver();
}
}
}
