Scriptable objects and Game Variables
Create Scriptable object assets
Scriptable objects are custom assets, They act similarly to other scripts expect they are can not be attached to a GameObject.
Game Variables
These scriptable objects hold a single value and can be used for variables that need to be shared by multiple Objects
All of these variable assets have the same structure, they have a default value and the current value that can be changed at runtime
Variables can be reset to their default value using the “Reset” button or to reset all variables use the “Reset Scriptable Objects” in the tools menu
Navigation
Scriptable object for navigation
Navigation Controller
The Navigation controller can be used to open/close menus and load scenes. There should only be one Navigation controller in the project.
Menu Screen
Menu Screens hold a reference to prefabs for a menu, and must also have a reference to canvas they will be added to.
“Add To Menu Stack” allows other menus to go back to this menu (see Go To Previous Menu)
“Clear Menu Stack” removes all menus from the stack
Menu prefabs must have a “Menu Behaviour” script added to them
Scene Details
Scene Details hold information about a scene like their name and index in the project.
“Is Menu” indicates if the scene is a menu scene or a game scene. This can be used with a BoolVariable to conditionally load Objects.
“Scene Variables” is a list of Game Variables that should be reset when the scene loads. This can allow scenes to be reloaded in their initial state.
Using Navigation Controller
To use the Navigation controller, add an action to button event, set navigation controller a the Object, then select the function you want to use.
Set Active Menu

Go To Previous Menu
Can can be used for a “back” button.
Close Menu
