Keeping stats from level to level (scene to scene)

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

I am working on a 2.5D platformer where the player can collect and lose lives. I have a script that keep track of the number of lives, but once the player reach a new level (wich is a new scene), the number of lives is reset to the "starting" value of the script.

Is there a way to make Unity "remember" the number of lives from scene to scene?

Thanks,

Hum... I tried applying a DontDestroyOnLoad on the script keeping track of the number of lives, but the number of lives is still reset to 4 after each level load.

Here is my script (please keep in mind that I am not a programmer and that I mostly "recycle" scripts from tutorials and forum answers)

static var charge : int = 4;


var charge1tex : Texture2D;
var charge2tex : Texture2D;
var charge3tex : Texture2D;
var charge4tex : Texture2D;
var charge5tex : Texture2D;
var charge6tex : Texture2D;
var charge7tex : Texture2D;
var charge8tex : Texture2D;
var charge9tex : Texture2D;
var charge10tex : Texture2D;
var charge11tex : Texture2D;
var charge0tex : Texture2D;


function Start(){
guiTexture.enabled = true;
charge = 4;
}


function Awake () {
DontDestroyOnLoad (this);
}


function Update () {
    if(charge == 1){
        guiTexture.texture = charge1tex;
        guiTexture.enabled = true;
    }
    else if(charge == 2){
        guiTexture.texture = charge2tex;
    }
    else if(charge == 3){
        guiTexture.texture = charge3tex;


`}


else if(charge == 4){
guiTexture.texture = charge4tex;



}

else if(charge == 5){

guiTexture.texture = charge5tex;


}

else if(charge == 6){

guiTexture.texture = charge6tex;


}

else if(charge == 7){

guiTexture.texture = charge7tex;


}

else if(charge == 8){

guiTexture.texture = charge8tex;


}

else if(charge == 9){

guiTexture.texture = charge9tex;


}

else if(charge == 10){

guiTexture.texture = charge10tex;


}


else if(charge == 11){

guiTexture.texture = charge11tex;


}


else{

guiTexture.texture = charge0tex;

}
