How to make a class that can be accessed from any script in a project.

Questions & Answers

Sorry if this example is kinda vague, I’m not the best with these ask board sites.
So say I have an empty game object called “GameManager” with a script also named “GameManager”, and just to make things simple, another game object named “Player”, with a script called “PlayerData”. But both the scripts “GameManager” and “PlayerData” require using a method called “Gen()” in a class called “tools”.
Where and how would I declare the class “tools”, do I have to attach it to a game object or can it just be in an assets folder? And how would I even call the method?

What the methods do or other classes need is irrelevant, I just need to know how to set the class up and access it.

You could create your Tools class as public and your Gen() function in this Tools class as static.

Something like this Seconds To Time converter function.

using UnityEngine;

public class Tools : MonoBehaviour {

	public static string Gen(double secs)
	{
		System.TimeSpan t = System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(secs);
		string answer;
		if (t.TotalMinutes < 1.0) {
			answer = string.Format("0:{0}", t.Seconds);
		} else if (t.TotalHours < 1.0) {
			answer = string.Format("{0}:{1:D2}", t.Minutes, t.Seconds);
		} else { // more than 1 hour
			answer = string.Format("{0}:{1:D2}", (int)t.TotalHours, t.Minutes);
		}
		return answer;
	}
}

I’d look up Interfaces as well…
