Global objects & classes

[anon19656182]

Hello,

I'm a complete newbie, attempting to save a bunch of global board information across scenes. In particular, I'm making a board game, and would like to have an object shared across all scenes representing the current state of the board, so that it can be saved, redrawn upon leaving menus, etc.

At the moment, I have the following scripts set up with dummy code, just to see what would happen... but haven't been able to get anything to actually run, even after fiddling. I tried to create a 'minimal' amount of code; I hope it is in fact representative. It certainly doesn't run.

EDIT: Added a minimal code example.

as a script, not attached to anything:

class Unit extends System.Object {
   var img:String;
   var unitName:String;

   function SetImage(img:String) {
        this.img=img;
   }

   function GetImage() {
        return this.img;
   }

}

In the 'title' scene:

static var BLAH:Unit;

function Awake() {
        DontDestroyOnLoad(this);
    }

    function Start() {
    BLAH.SetImage("Hello");
}

function Update () {
}

(attached to a new GameObject that does nothing else)

In the 'load' scene, attached to a GameObject that does nothing else:

function OnGUI () {
if(GUI.Button(Rect(0,560,100,50),
"Level 1")) {
print(GlobalBoardObjects.BLAH.GetImage());
Application.LoadLevel("game");
}

}

Did those classes derive from MonoBehaviour? If not, do so and attach them to GameObject's and you should be fine. Otherwise, please post some code to clarify the problem.
