[SOLVED] How would you share a variable across scripts?
Hey guys, my question for now is:
How would you make a variable usable by various scripts in the game?
Example -
MainScript (Script #1)
NiceName = Johny print(NiceName.."Is printed from the main script!") --SOMEHOW "SHARE" IT
MinorScript (Script #2)
print(NiceName.."Is printed from another script!") --NiceName should be Johny, as declared in script #1
Thanks in advance! Also, try to not make something This thing you should but you don't understand, then do this which you also don't understand :). And if there is no really simple solution, atleast try to explain well. Thx.
EDIT: For some reason, bold and italic doesn't work >.>

You can share variables through many ways. The one I use more is through global variables (_G), which they store a variable globally, bring accessed through many scripts. An example would be this:
-- A script _G.variableName = "Nathan"
Then another script
-- Another script print(_G.variableName) -- Prints "Nathan" -- "MAKE SURE THE NAMES ARE THE SAME"
Another way are the Bindable Events/Functions, which are normally used for triggerers in the server. They can only be used through server scripts, if you want to communicate through Server - Client, use RemoteEvents or RemoteFuncttons . An example can be this one:
-- A script
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("BindableEvent")
function onClicked(value)
local value = script.Parent.Money.Value
event:Fire(value)
end
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(onClicked)
BindableEvent
-- Another Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.BindableEvent.Event:Connect(function(value)
print(value)
end
I don't know well how does a bindable event work, as I normally use _G values, but hope this works! Please accept the answer if it helped.
