Trouble expanding upon the Roguelike 2D tutorial...

Hello everyone! This is my first post.

So I finished the Roguelike 2D tutorial completely and decided to test my knowledge by expanding upon the finished product. Currently I've created a shotgun that has a 10% chance of spawning whenever a level is loaded. Ive made an animation for the player so when he picks up the shotgun, his idle animation turns into a new idle animation of him holding the shotgun. This all works fine until I advance the level.

There is a boolean condition that decides what animation is playing, and when the game reloads the scene, the boolean resets itself. I've spent countless hours and different attempts to try and keep the boolean variable past the level exit but to no avail. Can somebody please tell me how to keep that data through the Restart function?

Here is the GameManager.cs file.

1. try PlayerPrefs. There no booleans, you can use int. Somewhere in you level (befor next level is loaded): if (yourbool) PlayerPrefs.SetInt ("boolName", 1); Then if you start the next level, somewhere in start() (or awake): if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("boolName" ==1) yourbool = true;
2. try DontDestroyOnLoad()
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html
I think, playerPrefs is better.

 

Your sir are simply amazing.. I never even knew about PlayerPrefs!!! Thank you so much!!
