Changing global variables through C# script.

TedAgriogianis

I'm having very inconsistent results trying to change global variables through a C# script. Earlier I was able to change the health value of an enemy through trial and error, eventually ending up with this set of code.

using AC

{
    public GVar healthRecord;

    healthRecord.FloatValue = enemy.health;
        AC.GlobalVariables.SetFloatValue(9, healthRecord.FloatValue);
}

This method works. But when I tried it with a boolean variable at a later time, it does not change.

using AC

{
    public GVar wonCellarPuzzle;

    wonCellarPuzzle.BooleanValue=true;
            AC.GlobalVariables.SetBooleanValue(22, wonCellarPuzzle.BooleanValue);
}

From what I understand I should just be able to write

AC.GlobalVariables.SetBooleanValue(22, true);

But that does not work either. Really confused as to how this system works.

You don't need to create a GVar class of your own - you can assign the values directly, i.e.:

AC.GlobalVariables.SetFloatValue(9, enemy.health);
AC.GlobalVariables.SetBooleanValue(22, true);

If these aren't working, check that the types match - i.e. the variable with an ID of "22" is a Boolean.

It's also possible to refer to variables by name. Try this for the latter instead, replacing "WonCellarPuzzle" with the name of your Global Variable:

GVar myVariable = GlobalVariables.GetVariable ("WonCellarPuzzle");
myVariable.BooleanValue = true;

Does that work?
