Assign value to variable at headquarters-file -> how to?

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hey :wink:

I use a file: Konstanten.h/Konstanten.cpp
in this file I create all my bool, int, label etc. If I need them in several other files at my game. It is my headquarters :wink:

I do it like this:

Konstanten.h

extern bool myBOOLEAN;

Konstanten.cpp

bool myBOOLEAN = false;

Now I want to create an instans of CCLEVEL (and others) or an integer with a predefined value, but I have no luck to work with it… The value is not assigned to it. Is this not possible, or what is my mistake?

Konstanten.h

extern CCLevel *explainLevel;
extern int diamondsDepot;

Konstanten.cpp

CCLevel *explainLevel = CCSoomlaLevelUp::getInstance()->getLevel(LEVEL_EXPLAINLANGUAGE_ID);
int diamondsDepot = CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->getItemBalance(DIAMONDS_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID, &soomlaError);

Thank for your advise.
