using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Score : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Text scoreText;
    public int score;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
      
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        scoreText.text = "Clicks" + score;

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            score++;
        }
    }
}

how can i reference the score in another scene. if i want to have the score of clicks shown in the next scene how could i do this? thanks for any help

Please use code tags… you can edit your message with edit button.

You can use a script in GameObject that you set to DontDestroyOnLoad - this way you can have this object + its script persist even if scene loads.

You can use PlayerPrefs to save and load the value.

You can use any other available C# or Unity serialization method to save and load your data.

So for me to reference or show the score on another scene do i just use the same script in new scene and it will show me the same score? or do i need to make a new object/script that will have the variable of scoretext? im still really confused sorry if im being a pain with easy Questions

You can use a global static variable to keep track of your score. Some people will say not to do this, and they are right is some circumstances, but it works fine for a simple game.
I have a SCENE object that runs a SR_Scene script. That script declares global static variables …

public static class Global
    {
        public static int GameDifficulty = 3; //0 = easy, 1 normal, 2 difficult, 3 insane
        public static bool FriendlyFire = false;
        public static int CurrentLevel = 0; //level player is on, to track/increase difficulty
        public static bool LevelCleared = true;
}

Later in the scene script you can access those value like this for example to increase the CurrentLevel … Global.CurrentLevel++;
Other scripts will have to access the Scene script to get or set these variables.
Example for a script on an enemy spaceship OnEnable() …

if (SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty > 0)
            {
                //they get faster
                MaxSpeed += SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty;
                if(MaxSpeed > SR_Scene.Global.MaxPlayerSpeed) { MaxSpeed = SR_Scene.Global.MaxPlayerSpeed; }
                //and stronger
                MaxHull += + SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty;
                if (MaxHull > SR_Scene.Global.MaxHull) { MaxHull = SR_Scene.Global.MaxHull; }
                CurrentHull = MaxHull;
                //and shoot faster
                GunCoolRate += SR_Scene.Global.GameDifficulty * 0.01f;
                if(GunCoolRate > MaxGunCoolRate)
                {
                    GunCoolRate = MaxGunCoolRate;
                }
            }

In every script that calls the static globals you need to define the scene script like this.

//declare up top of the enemy script
private GameObject SceneController;
private SR_Scene SceneScript;

//define in the awake function of enemy script
SceneController = GameObject.FindWithTag("GameController");
SceneScript = SceneController.GetComponent<SR_Scene>();
