Solved Trouble updating a variable (wrong scope)

Hello,

I am pretty new to OO languages and I am spending some time when it's available to progress my learning, I am creating a plugin that I thought was working but the variable only seems to update once. I'm guessing it's because it's being declared once at startup but I don't know the OO way of doing it.

How would I update the variable before each save?

Code:

    class EntityCounter : RustPlugin
    {
      
        private int EntityCount = BaseNetworkable.serverEntities.Count;
        private int MaxEntity = 250000;
  
    void OnServerSave()
    {
        int Remaining = MaxEntity - EntityCount;
      
        if (EntityCount < MaxEntity){            PrintToChat("Total Entities : {0}, Wipe @ {1}. Remaining Entities to go {2}", 
        }
        else {
            PrintToChat("Entity Limit Reached! Admin will be wiping soon.");
        }
      
    }
    }

 

Yeah I know, I think I named the title incorrectly I've just not delved into public, private etc yet and I'm wondering how I could get it to be updated when that trigger is called.

 

Yeah I knew that but I've figured it out now, Got my book out and did some reading, I appreciate you didn't give me the quick fix.
