How do I keep Text[] values alive and reuse in the script [duplicate]

Question

I'm building a bowling game in which I am trying to save the number of pins fallen on every turn to a UI text box, taken as an array (public Text[] Count). I'm able to get the first score in the text box, but unable to save it while switching to other scenes.

There are two scenes; one has the ball, pins and alley, and the other scene has the score card, which is displayed in additive mode. The UI text is a child of the canvas. I've used DontDestroyOnLoad for the canvas, but it doesn't work at all. I'm actually trying to reuse these values to display the score in the series.

Below is the code

public GameObject rootCanvas;
    public Text[] Count;
    public static int counter=0;
    public static int i;
    public static int co = 0;


    MovingBall ball = new MovingBall();

    public void Start()
    {
        ball.countText = GameObject.FindWithTag("Counttext").GetComponent<Text>();


        for (i=co;i<=29;i++)
        {
            if (counter < 1)
                {
                    Count[i].text = ball.countText.text;
                }
                else if (counter == 1)
                {
                    Count[i].text = ball.countText.text;
                    Count[i+1].text = (Convert.ToInt16(Count[i-1].text) + Convert.ToInt16(Count[i].text)).ToString();
                }

            counter++;

            co++;

            DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject.transform);

            return;

        }

    }



    void Awake()
    {

        rootCanvas = GetComponent<GameObject>();

    }

You need to call DontDestroyOnLoad()

That will keep your "score" tracking object alive as Unity switches scenes.

Be aware that when you go to switch back you'll now have two of these objects! You'll need to either destroy the original (before switching scenes again) or detect and destroy the duplicate (by using a singleton structure).
