## Addition of GlobalParameterContainer

- Choose you want to apply GameObject Select “menu> Component> Arbor> GlobalParameterContainer”.
- Alternatively, select the “Add Component button> Arbor> GlobalParameterContainer” of Inspector.
- Also, you can create a GameObject with GlobalParameterContainer attached from Hierarchy’s Create button “Arbor> GlobalParameterContainer”.

## Setting GlobalParameterContainer

- ParameterContainer with parameters to be shared between scenes is created in advance and Prefabized.
- Select GameObject to which GlobalParameterContainer is added. Specify Prefab of ParameterContainer created in Prefab of Inspector.

## Reference parameters via GlobalParameterContainer

By specifying GlobalParameterContainer in the Container field of ParameterReference, parameters can be referred.
