Accessing a global JS function from C#??

Unity Engine
1

I have a JS script, with a function in it that I want to be globally accessible to every other script and C# function. I remember hearing somewhere that you can place scripts like this in a special folder name, was the name editor? or plugin? And then the script is compiled before other scripts, and thus accessible to all other scripts? How do I do that and where would I get more information on that?

Then, how would I go about just directly accessing that JS function from a c# script without using anything like
jsfunction JSfunction;
JSfunction = transform.find(JSscript);
(or however that work)

How do I in my c# script just directly access the JS function? I remember reading something that this was possible with just a scriptname.functionname something.

Also, is it slower to access a global function in this manner than it is to access a local function?

The folder you want is “Plugins” or “Standard Assets”

You just need to mark your functions as static:

public static function DoSomething()

Then you call it like:
MyJavaScriptName.DoSomething()

There is no performance impact of static vs instance level functions, only behavioural differences to account for (statics do not belong to a particular instance)

EDIT: btw, “static” and “global” are the same thing. Unity docs refer to them as global, but from a programmatic standpoint the industry uses the term “static”; that might help you in the future if you try to find general information about it.
