Best way to share a variable

Question

Hi,

Whats the best way to share and access a variable from other scripts ?

I have a script that I call GlobalVars.js and it has a list of public variables on i that I access through other scrips by using something like the sample script below, is that the best way to do it or using static variables and calling scriptName.varName ?

Thanks.

 #pragma strict
 
 private var globalVars : GameObject; // Referance to the GameObject with the GlobalVars on
 
 function Awake(){
 
     globalVars = GameObject.Find("Global Vars");    // Find the gameObject with the GlobalVars script attached
 }
 
 function Start(){
 
 }
 
 function Update(){
 
       globalVars.GetComponent(GlobalVars).terroristHealth = 100;  // Update the variable
 }

Your variables in globalVars could be static, this way you can eliminate the "Global Vars" game object, the globalVars reference, and the Awake code. All you have to do is:

 function Update(){
     GlobalVars.terroristHealth = 100;
 }

Thanks for that, is that way more optimised than the way I'm doing it ?
