Save timer score between scenes? (C#)

Questions & Answers

Hello my fellow Unities, I have a timer in my game that’s counting upwards, the timer is also used for score so 30 seconds = 30 points. Now I’m trying to figure out how to save the timer score, when switching scenes. Say that you survive for 40 seconds, now I want to save that float number and load it into the other scene? Note that I change scene when an enemy collides with the player.

I have my timer code here:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class TimerScript : MonoBehaviour 
{
	//Create timer
	public float timer = 0f;

	//Create displayed timer
	Text text;
	
	void Awake()
	{
		//Load Text class
		text = GetComponent<Text> ();

		//Reset the timer
		timer = 0f;

	}

	void Update()
	{
		//Start the timer and keep it going
		timer += Time.deltaTime;

		//Write out the timer on the screen with one decimal
		text.text = "" + timer.ToString("F1");
	}
}

And here’s the change scene script when an enemy “kills” the player:

public void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col)
	{
		if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player")
		{
			Application.LoadLevel(3);
		}
	}

Hello, @Internetman!

You can save the score value using the PlayerPrefs

 PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("Player Score", 10.0F);

And you can get the score in the other scene using

 float score = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("Player Score");

If you save copy of timer as static variable, this should help

static float timerCopy;
function Start(){
timer = timerCopy;
}

function Update(){
timerCopy = timer
}

add this code to the TimerScript & make the object that this script attached to a brefab after that drag the object into the next scene.

void Awake()
{
DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
}

Alright, so I kind of got it to work by using some good ol’ IF statements, now the only problem is how do i stop the timer from counting when I’m in the next scene, and then reset it when going back again? (I have a reset button in the scene I’m loading in) If i write “Timer = 0” in the Awake fuction, it will be 0 in both scenes…

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class TimerScript : MonoBehaviour 
{
	//Create timer
	public static float timer = 0f;

	//Bool
	bool stopTimer = false;

	//Create displayed timer
	Text text;
	
	void Awake()
	{
		//Load Text class
		text = GetComponent<Text> ();
		DontDestroyOnLoad (this.gameObject);

		//Reset the timer
		//timer = 0f;

	}

	void Update()
	{
		//Start the timer and keep it going
		timer += Time.deltaTime;

		//Write out the timer on the screen
		text.text = "" + timer.ToString("F1");

		if(Application.loadedLevelName == "Scene 2 Game over")
		{
			text.text = timer.ToString("F1") + " Points";
		}

		if(Application.loadedLevelName == "Scene 1 Main Game")
		{
			
		}
	}

}
