How to set a Global Variable of type GameObject via script?

I want to set a GameObject as a global variable via script, in order to use it in another scene. I have created the variable from the Variables menu in the Editor, but the AC.GlobalVariables class has set methods only for Boolean, Float etc, not for GameObject. Am I missing something?

    I eventually figured out a way:

    AC.GlobalVariables.GetVariable("varname").GameObjectValue = myGameObject;

    I don't know if it's optimal, but it works...

    Yes, that's it.

    You can optimise it by storing a reference to the variable, but it'd be a minimal difference unless you're setting it every frame:

    AC.GVar myVariable = AC.GlobalVariables.GetVariable("varname");
myVariable.GameObjectValue = myGameObject;
