Hello,

I just realized that Angelscript does not really have a 'static' class variables like most languages. What would be the best approach to achieve a variable that will be shared among all instances? I tried to define global int but then it would not allow it because the class accessing it is shared. If I make it shared it doesn't compile - is it because global variables can't be shared yet? I tried looking through the changelog and documentation and could not find anything

This is sadly rather limiting, and the only other idea I have is introducing some artificial "variable storage" that would work externally, but it feels a bit like reinventing the wheel. 

Shared global variables are not yet supported, but it is on my to-do list.

Static class members are just global variables in the namespace of the class, so even if static members were supported they would suffer the same limitation as global variables.

You can have a non-shared class implement a shared interface. The non-shared class will be able to use global variables normally, and the shared interface will allpw you to share the instance across script modules.

Thanks for reply! To be honest, I was aiming for 100% shared thing, almost as far as shared by default abecause it's just easier and more convenient to use. So having to specify interface for final class just to be able to have global variable available seems like too big a tradeoff.

I'll probably implement some special storage class for such global variables as a singleton that can be accessible till global variables become shareable.

Something like:

globals.get<int>("myintvar")
