Functions

SetGlobal

void SetGlobal(string ns, string key, DynValue value)

Sets a global key to a value. The value can be any object type.

Parameter	Type	Description
ns	string
key	string
value	DynValue

Lua

Space.Shared.SetGlobal("com.someNameHere.world", "version", "1.02");

Lua

-- This one script placed on a multiple number of objects  will track the number
-- of clicks user has made using a Global Variable
-- note: the GetGlobal/SetGlobal functions are client side

thisObject = Space.Host.ExecutingObject
namespace = "com.example.shared" 
key = "clicktracker"


OnClick = function()

local currentClicks = Space.Shared.GetGlobal(namespace, key)

if currentClicks == nil then
  currentClicks = 1
else
  currentClicks = currentClicks + 1
end

Space.Shared.SetGlobal(namespace, key, currentClicks)
Space.Log("Total Clicks = " .. currentClicks)

end
  

thisObject.AddClickable()
thisObject.Clickable.OnClick(OnClick)

SetSuperGlobal

void SetSuperGlobal(string ns, string key, DynValue value)

Function Description

Parameter	Type	Description

Lua

GetSuperGlobal

DynValue GetSuperGlobal(string ns, string key)

Retrieves a previously set super global variable, or returns nil.

Parameter	Type	Description

Lua

versionValue = Space.Shared.GetSuperGlobal("com.someNameHere.world", "version");

Lua

--these two scripts are in two different regions but script B will know that you came from A

--REGION A script
username = Space.Scene.PlayerAvatar.Username
region = Space.Scene.Name
Space.Shared.SetSuperGlobal (username, "Last Location", region)
