Global Variables across states

[wamballa]

Hi

I've created a game which is pretty cool ( for me ) but I'm stuck now on the simplest of things. How do I run global variables across the different level states.

the variables I want to use are; highscore, score, lives

Where in the code do i declare these variables? I've tried a load of things but can't seem to crack it.

Any help would be appreciatd and let me know if I need to explain more.

Thanks

Look at the templates included with Phaser.  One of them, I forget which, shows one way to do this.  It is in the boot state and essentially involves declaring Basicgame.highscore or whatever.  That variable is global.  It doesn't have to be declared in boot but that makes it available right from the offset so is a good place.

class Game extends Phaser.Game {
  constructor() {
    this.global = {
      highscore: 25
    };
}

// Then access in state via
this.game.global.highscore;

Wow. EUREKA! That is works great.

I did need to put 

super();

before

this.global......

and now it works perfectly.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
