Global scene variable?

Wobbles67

What is the best way to create a 'global' variable that is connected to the current scene and not any individual player?

It also needs to be read/writable by all clients, including new clients as they connect with every player seeing the same value at all times.

Well, this is how I've implemented it which seems to work. Whether it's the best way or not I don't know. I created a Network Object in the scene with the following script attached:

    public class MatchQueue : NetworkBehaviour, ISpawned
    {
        [Networked] public int testQueue { get; set; }

        public override void Spawned()
        {
            Debug.Log("Match Queue spawned!");
        }

        [Rpc(RpcSources.All, RpcTargets.StateAuthority)]
        public void RPC_UpdateQueue()
        {
            testQueue++;
        }

        public int GetTestQueue()
        {
            return testQueue;
        }
    }

The RPC method is called when the user clicks a button to join a match. The current queue can be retrieved by calling the GetTestQueue() method, which I do from an Update() on the GUI Panel so it always shows the current queue length.
