Title: [Solved]Globals variables
Post by: stigma on April 05, 2019, 05:02:28 PM

hello Jean
I can not create global variables anymore. Is there a limit?
I have 270 global variables. When I want to add one in the line "New variable", the name is deleted immediately and the variable is not created.
Thanks

Unity 5.6.2f1 Playmaker 1.8.4f5

Hi.
I do not know if there is a limit, but i do know that you should avoid using globals.

i did the same before, but now i usually have only 1 or 2 maximum in a project.

I mostly use get/set sfm action and the are more actions on the ecosystem like fsm add int, fsm bool test, etc.

if i have a variable that needs to be accessible by many objects, then i set a empty object with an fsm (i call it meta) and on play i set that one into a global for easier access.

Have a look at this wiki page :

I do not understand how we can recover variables after closing the game?

You can use too the action "set fsm variable" (float,bool,etc...) for one object with multiple fsm (for use different variables (other than globals)).

I hope this trick has helped you  ;) bye

Hi,
Not sure what you mean.

Globals are reset the same way as locals when restarting the game.

if you want to save/load values you can use playerprefs but it recommended to use easy save or some other save assets (i my opinion easy save is still the best so far)

There was a problem with Unity. I deleted the Library folder and the problem disappeared.
Thank you
