How Do I: Set Game Prop. as Global Value

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I was curious about the python code I could use to set a game property as a global value and call it from another object?

2

What I usually do is have a “master” object like an empty and I give it the properties to hold. Then I can just access the property from that one object whenever I need to.

script 1


## Method 1 ##
global MYVAR

MYVAR = "totally cool"

## Method 2 ##
bge.logic.NEWVAR = "nice"

script 2


## Method 1 ##
global MYVAR

print(MYVAR)

## Method 2 ##
print(bge.logic.NEWVAR)

but method 1 can get a bit messy sometimes.

A) Search the object
B) get the property from it


objectWithProperty = scene.objects["ObjectWithProperty"]
propertyValue = objectWithProperty["propertyName"]

drawback -> You need to know the internal structure of the other object (-> the object name + property name).

Dependent on the purpose of the property/property value there might be other solutions.
