[solved]Carry a number between rooms

[Noobc0re]

I have a number that happens in one room, then in the next room I need to show it.

How do I bring it over?

Global variables are the easiest way to do this. If you are using gml, you can simply put

global.

infront of your variable name. For example:

global.value = 10;

This will maintain its value throughout the life of your game.

That doesn't work though.

It is also possible to create an object that is persistant, and store all of your variables that you need throughout your game in this object.

ex name
obj_gameVars

Here's one of the most important rules when asking for help: Never say "doesn't work". Whenever you want to say that, it's a clear sign that you have to provide a substantial additional amount of information.

My recomendation would be create a properties class to store all your global variables. I'm a c# dev so I'm not sure if GML supports it but I think it does support properties. Anyway, a global variable is a variable you can access anywhere in game. Common global would be a player lives count or player score. Any value that you need to access through out your entire game. If you need a better explanation of global variables, I recomend researching how properties work in the .Net framework on the MSDN forums. I hope that helps.

I am having the same issue. However despite following the information on this page, I can't use gml tips as this is a DnD game. I have tried using global variables and whenever i need to use them it comes up with, ERROR, global. has not been set before reading it, despite me setting and checking the global variable.
