Thread: Help with ints

I declared a public int in one class, modified it in that class, then tried to call it in another class, but when I call it, none of the modifications that were made carry over.

The variable:

public int dmg = 5;

Where it is modified:

case 1: 
						if (gold >= 2){
						dmg += 10;
						gold -= 2;
						out.println("Thank you. Have a nice day!");
						}
						else{
							out.println("You are too poor.");
						}
						decision = 0;
						break;

What this is doing is buying a weapon, then adding to the dmg int.

Where it is being called:

static town city = new town();
public int dmg(){
	return dmg;
 
 
 
case 1: 
				wolf1hp -= city.dmg();
				out.println("You have dealt " + city.dmg() + " damage." );
				if (wolf1hp <= 0){
					out.println(" You killed the first wolf.");
				}
				playerhealth -= wolf2dmg;
				out.println("Wolf 2 attacked you and you lost " + wolf2dmg + ". You now have " + playerhealth + " health.");
				decision = 0;
				break;

this is a simple battle scenario, and when i run it, instead of saying 15 damage it just says 5.
