Global Variable !

Question

Hi everyone :) i have special question about global variables so i want explain it with an example:

i have a Creator script that creates cubes, this script has a Counter which is used for keep track of number of total cubes;

i have multiple machines that use the Creator script for creating cubes so when each machine create 2 cubes the Counter variable in each machine script is 2 while i want Counter variable do not start from 0 for each script. and the final value of Counter be 4.

All i need is a global variable that do not resets when new object starts using it.

sample variable value through running multiple scripts:

counter=0

machine1 counter=1

machine1 counter +=1

machine2 counter +=1

machine3 counter +=1

machine2 counter +=1

now counter should be 5 not with different value in each script

Yep like Dota-KAMIKADzE said you can use something like this static int totalCounter = 0;

 void AddCube() {
  totalCounter++;
  Debug.Log(totalCounter);
 }

Each machine that ads a cube will increment totalCounter, but total counter is only one variable across all of machines that use this script

Most likely this is what you're looking for. With only difference that you can set static value just inside your Creator script without the need of creating custom class.
