Update() opening scene

Unity Engine
1

I’m making a game that’s about trade, game has 9 different city to trade. I want player to buy a good from a cheaper price and sell it to another city.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;
using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.PlayerLoop;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class WeaponryPrices : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int buyprice0;
    public int sellprice0;
    public float countdown;
    public Text text0;
    public Text selling_text0;

    private void Start()
    {
        UpdateText(text0, buyprice0);
        UpdatesellText(selling_text0, sellprice0);
    }
    void UpdateText(Text tex,int value)
    {
        tex.text = "Buy " + value;
    }
    void UpdatesellText(Text tex, int value)
    {
        tex.text = "Sell " + value;
    }
    private void Update()
    {
        countdown += Time.deltaTime;
        if(countdown > 10f)
        {
            buyprice0 = Random.Range(30,60);
            sellprice0 = buyprice0 - 5;
            UpdateText(text0, buyprice0);
            UpdatesellText(selling_text0, sellprice0);
            countdown -= 10f;
        }
    }


}

When I enter the shop it shows me in the button’s text “button”, after 10 seconds it changes so I noticed that Update() method doesn’t work when player isn’t in the scene.
How can I fix that problem? I want to change prices when the player is in the map.

Two ways I can think of:

  1. Calculate your prizes globally and just display them in the cities.
  2. Store the time when the player leaves a city in the city, then compare it with the current time when the city loads and crunch all the prize development that happened between exiting and entering the city again.

So you say I should calculate prices in map and by getcomponent I should take them and display it. Can you write a example script?

It’s less about a single script and more about how you organize things. You can have a Handler Object that’s persistent through all your scenes that handles it. A singleton as a PriceHandler should work well here. You can access it from inside any city and just use the cities as a display.

Ok thanks I already had a game controller that attached to every scene I’ll do it with that
